SUMMARY:Nordic Handcraft Workshop: Intro to Card Weaving Workshop with Josie Cooke
DESCRIPTION:Explore the art of card weaving with instructor Josie Cooke in this full-day workshop. \nCard weaving is an extremely old and important band weaving technique\, commonly used in Scandinavia to create beautifully patterned bands for edging textiles or using as apron strings or belts. While in the early Iron Age\, card woven bands were used to create the starting and selvedge bands for warp weighted looms\, today those same bands might be put to use as decorative edging on a sweater\, as straps for a bag\, or as a stylish lanyard for glasses or keys. In this one-day workshop\, students will choose from a variety of patterns and weave a band approximately 3/8″- 3/4″ wide and 24″-36″ long. At the end of the day\, students will leave with a set of cards and the skills to continue band weaving beyond class. \nAdditional information:  \n\nAdvanced registration required.\nA $25 materials fee is due in class to the instructor.\nStudents receive a set of cards to take home.\n\n  \nPrerequisites: \n\nSkill level: This class is open to all experience levels.\nAges: Suitable for ages 14+.

SUMMARY:Bring new life to old family archives - Chris Fischbach
DESCRIPTION:Join former Coffee House Press publisher and current literary agent Chris Fischbach as he leads a laid-back three-hour workshop exploring different creative activities you can do with your family archives. \nDo you have boxes of old family journals\, letters\, photographs\, records\, and receipts from multiple generations of relatives\, but not know what to do with them? Why not use these “family archives” as inspiration\, material\, and jumping-off points for creativity? \nCome to class with a general idea of what your archives contain\, such as old family journals\, letters\, photos\, maps\, documents like marriage licenses and birth certificates\, shopping lists\, keepsakes\, ticket stubs\, travel documents\, passports\, etc. You don’t need to bring any of this with you\, but you are welcome to. Please bring a notebook and something to write with. You will leave the class with ideas for new ways to discover\, create\, and make something new from something old. You will also have something your family can cherish for years to come. Bring the past to life and make your ancestors proud as their archives inspire you to create\, tell their story in words or collage\, tell it slant\, or create a different world with them as characters. \nAdditional information: \n\nThis workshop is open to families and participants ages 12+.\nAdvanced registration required.
