Crocheted Granny Squares

TBA
Expand your crocheting skills including following written patterns and stitch diagrams. You’ll make up to three different granny squares, two of which can be continued indefinitely to make any size including one large square as a modern and graphic blanket. We'll also discuss how to attach squares together for patchwork projects. Ideally students will already know chain stitch and double crochet. More advanced crocheters can bring in granny square patterns or projects for individual help.

From Cover to Cover: A Book Arts Workshop
Thursday January 9, 2025 8:55am - 11:30am PST
TBA

From Cover to Cover: A Book Arts Workshop is an exploration into the world of handmade books and the artistry of bookbinding. In this workshop, students will discover various bookmaking techniques, from folding and stitching to creating unique covers and personalized pages. Through guided instruction, participants will learn the basics of bookbinding, explore different materials and tools, and design their own one-of-a-kind books that tell a story or express a theme.

This workshop encourages students to think beyond traditional books, blending elements of art, design, and storytelling to craft an expressive final piece. Whether they’re interested in journaling, illustrating, or simply creating a personal keepsake, students will leave with a deeper appreciation of the book as an art form—along with a finished book that’s uniquely theirs from cover to cover.

Step into the world of Surrealism, where dreams and imagination run wild, and reality takes a backseat. In this workshop, students will dive into the history and philosophy of the Surrealist art movement, uncovering how artists like Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Max Ernst used dreamlike imagery, unexpected juxtapositions, and elements of the subconscious to create captivating, thought-provoking works. After a brief discussion on the movement’s roots and iconic techniques, students will have the chance to experiment with surrealist methods to create their own piece, blending the bizarre, the beautiful, and the unexpected.
