YOUTH ACTIVITIES
EXPERIENCING AND CREATING POETRY (AGES 7-11)
Children are natural poets. They instinctively love the sounds and feel of music and song and language. Their almost magical sense of wonder is a natural feature of their being. All too often, however, that sense of wonder is stifled by experiences in the “real world.” Through play and other fun activities, this special workshop will help children tap into and cultivate their own sense of wonder, setting the stage for them to develop their natural gifts as poets.

INTRODUCTION TO MARLISLE KNITTING (AGES18+)
Marlisle knitting is a simple, yet novel approach to stranded knitting. This technique, pioneered by Anna Maltz, works with two colors of yarn to create patterns in stockinette and garter stitch. Whether you are an accomplished knitter, or an advanced beginner, looking to learn new techniques in knitting, there is always something new to learn and try – and it can be surprisingly simple! Marlisle lets you reevaluate rules, your yarn and what you thought were the limits of colorwork in knitting. The knitting project for this class is The Coniferous Hat, published by Interweave Gifts magazine. This pattern uses the marlisle technique that combines marling and solid colors through stranded knitting to create a colorful, geometric beanie. This hat is worked from the bottomup starting with a twisted-rib brim in the main color, then a strand of a contrasting color is added to create the colorful garter-stitch sections. This class is taught by Lisa Carney-Fenton, owner of the Handworks Knitting Studio. Capacity: 9 2/3 F 3-4:30 p.m. Pettygrove $40/$60 AEC114

POETRY WRITING (AGES
