A Note About Co-op Workshops
Unless otherwise noted, all workshops will be held from 10am-noon, in Janet MacLeod's Studio, upstairs at the Adamant Co-op. If you have ideas for a workshop you would like to hold, we'd be more than happy to set it up! No expertise necessary, just a love for doing something and the wish to share it with others in a really informal, low pressure environment. Contact Janet MacLeod at the co-op: 223-5760.

Knitting! With Cindy Cook
Adamant Co-op Studio (Above the Store)
This workshop is for anyone who loves playing w/ fiber: people who already know how to knit, as well as those that want to learn. (Be Warned: it can become an obsession...) Bring a project that you're working on, if you have one, or materials (yarn and needles) to start something. If you'd like to knit a felted hat, bring two skeins of Paton's "Classic Wool" yarn (or some other yarn that you know will felt), and a 16" circular size 11 needle and double pointed size 11 needles. I'll supply the pattern. I'd be happy to consult w/ you before the workshop, if you'd like help decided what you'd like to knit. Cindy 223-6060.

Print Making with Suzanne Rexford-Winston
Stay tuned for more details, including directions.
Please note that this workshop will be at Suzanne's house, NOT at the
Co-op.
The workshop with Suzanne will probably be the last one for the winter season, since we know everyone will want to get out into their gardens. But we'll start up again in the late fall. However, if there is rainy weather during the spring and summer, on a weekend, we may just come together and do something spontaneously. We'll keep you posted.
