In this course, students will start by learning the Knit stitch, then progress to the Purl stitch. After gaining confidence with both, they will practice combining the two stitches to create simple patterns. In addition, casting on and binding off will be addressed. Throughout the course, students will use provided knitting needles and yarn for hands-on practice and receive printed stitch directions and links to instructor videos for further support. By the end of the course, students will be able to identify and execute basic knitting stitches (knit and purl), combine them to create patterns, and complete a small knitted sample piece independently, demonstrating the techniques they have learned.

Come celebrate spring at SCAHC with this unique opportunity to learn a skill and folk tradition! Pysanky is an ancient folk art where you create beautiful designs on eggs layer by layer. Patterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax, which protects selected areas, and then dipped in colored dye. This process can be repeated with different colors to reveal an intricate pattern. In the final step, all the wax is melted away to reveal a beautiful design with vibrant colors! This workshop covers some of the history and traditions surrounding pysanky, a demonstration, and independent practice session. For some, this meditative communal art experience is the start of a spring-time family tradition that can be passed on and enjoyed for years to come. Anyone can create an original pysanka- no prerequisite skills required. All materials are provided and sustainable sourced, including ethically sourced eggs and beeswax. In-person attendance will be extremely limited. Please bring a container or old egg carton to take home your creation. For ages 18+.
