Hey Y'all,
So school starts any second now. That means all sorts of things. For me, I can't help but still get excited remembering the August issue of Seventeen Mag. Remember that? Issue as fat as a phone book, packed with ads and back-to-school fashion ideas like how to somehow turn four articles of clothing into 70 different outfits. And is it my imagination or did they always recommend owning at least one kilt?
I know that some of you are about to gain some free time (hahahaha-- free time!) after shuttling your kids around to camps and the pool all summer. What to do with this newfound temporal abundance? Take some classes of your own, of course! As ever, HCW has a bunch of classes coming right up. Whether you're looking for beginner pointers, are ready to take your skills to the next level, or are hoping to take the plunge and pick up a "side craft" (e.g. setting aside your knitting for a few wet felting lessons)-- we've got lots of good ideas for you. Here's a rundown of what's coming up. And you can always check out the website for ongoing updated class information.

WET FELT FRIDAYS
Second Friday of every month
Next class: September 10, 10-2
We will explore the methods of wet and nuno felting and create lovely one of a kind masterpieces, from bags to hats, scarves to booties and much more.
This class meets the second Friday of each month from 10 am to 2 pm (that includes a short lunch break).
This picture is of a nuno felted and shibori dyed scarf, which we will focus on this week unless the regulars want to do something else. Mary will provide everything.You will need wool fleece, which you can purchase at HCW. Bring a few old towels and dress in
comfortable clothes. Wet felting can be quite a workout.
