Late-Summer Craft Classes with The Small Object

Sarah Neuburger from The Small Object will be teaching a few craft classes this September at the gorgeous-looking Squam Art Workshops in New Hampshire. Registration is happening now and classes are filling up fast! Here's how Sarah describes the classes she'll be teaching:

• The Rubber Stamp Champs, which will be a workshop on carving your own rubber stamps and a discussion of different ways to use them along with working on some of those.
• Chenille Poseable People, which is too much fun and we'll be making many different styles of the vintage inspired dolls and ornaments using my signature wooden bead face and bump chenille bodies along with a slew of super cool accessories.
• The Wooden Spool Doll is the last workshop I will doing at SAW and it is for a new Limited Edition Spool Doll which we will make together and discuss the construction techniques of making a small doll using a wooden spool.

This place looks crazy beautiful, and they offer a wide variety of wonderful-sounding workshops. Find out more at the Squam Art Workshops site.

Spring Classes at the Little Knittery

The new Spring class schedule has been announced at the wonderful LA-area yarn shop The Little Knittery. Learning to knit and crochet is still free, but there's also a nice selection of classes that'll cost you, such as sockmaking, recycled plastic knitting, crocheted bikini, and this cute li'l guy: The Pentapus, based on a comic character by artist Robert Goodin. See the full class list at The Little Knittery's site.

Mr. Funky Bear Class

Mr. Funky creator Narumi Ogawa will be teaching a crochet class at The Little Knittery in Atwater Village on Sunday, February 3, from 3-6pm. Students will learn to make their own super cute bear like this one--Narumi is even providing the plastic eyes and nose. Narumi has given me crochet lessons before (here's a link to my very first-ever amigurumi project, made with her help) so I can personally guarantee she's a great teacher. Don't miss it! Link.
