February Classes at the Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center

Saturdays, February 4th & 11th, 2012, 10:00am – 1:00pm  Knitting for Beginners. Tuition: $40.00  - Come & knit with Sissel Varum. This class is perfect for beginners or those who would like a refresher course in the basics. Students can choose one of 2 easy projects: a hot pad or baby socks. 

Saturday February 11, 2012 - 1:00-3:00  FaceMug Pottery Class. Tuition: $25  - Instructor Rob Withrow will bring mugs pre-prepared for you to add your own face design – a self portrait; a caricature; your favorite animal; something whimsical – the choice is yours to create. After class, Rob will take your creation back to his studio, add a handle, glaze and fire it. He will then bring the finished mugs back to Stecoah for you to pick up (usually takes a week). Participants will need to wear clothes they don’t mind getting messy and/or bring an apron.

Saturdays, February 11, 18, 25, 1:00-4:00pm   Quilting for Beginners. Tuition: $45.00  - Have you wanted to learn how to piece a quilt but didn’t have someone to teach you? In this class Patti Simpson will teach the basics of piecing a quilt top using a sewing machine, including how to properly use a rotary cutter to cut your fabric. You will make the top for a small quilt (34” x 40”) using the Rail Fence Block, suitable for a baby gift, lap quilt, or wall hanging, depending on your choice of fabric. Students should be comfortable using a sewing machine. Don’t have a portable sewing machine to bring to class? Don’t let that stop you. Stecoah Textile Studio has two machines available for students. To complete the quilt you may take additional classes in basic machine quilting and binding, or pay a professional quilter to quilt your masterpiece.

The Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center is located at 121 Schoolhouse Road in Robbinsville, NC
