 A Warm and Cozy “JazzKnits” Shoulder Wrap with Variations
Fee: $35 plus $4 pattern = $39.
This one-day workshop is offered twice:
Saturday Jan 10 from 9:30 am to 4 pm. Or Saturday Jan 31 from 9:30 am to 4 pm.
*Skill level: Beginner to Intermediate.
A fun class where you’ll learn how to jazz up a simple shoulder wrap pattern using a variety of easy but elegant techniques. You’ll learn to knit a cozy shoulder wrap, with several variations: a shrug, a figure-8 wrap, or a ruffled shawl --all from one pattern!
You’ll get a good start on your wrap during the class, and a chance to practice several new variations to make simple knits more interesting. You’ll also have time to receive individual help from your instructor.
Supply list will be sent on registration. Optional one-of-a-kind designer kits will also be available from the instructor.
The JazzKnits Approach:” Like a jazz musician, you’ll use a basic pattern and learn to improvise from simple to fancy. You start with a simple concept and use your OWN creativity to create your own creative variations.”
JazzKnits designer Jane Barnard has taught many knitting classes in Stevens Point, as well as at The Clearing in Door County. She is an enthusiastic teacher who provides students with plenty of one-on-one help and encouragement to experiment and enhance their creativity. And have fun too!

Saturday, January 24 • 11:00-2:00: Raku! $30 Call 715-345-9500 to sign up today!
$30 includes glazing with Raku glazes and firing of one piece. You may bring in your own pottery or purchase bisque here at Art Village. An addition $5 per piece if you are firing more than one. Raku is not food safe.
Join us for a unique firing experience. Bring a piece of fired bisque an we’ll go through the process of Raku firing. Pottery is removed from the kiln during the firing when it is red hot. Quickly, each piece is set in a garbage can full of combustible materials which immediately catch fire. Then the garbage can is closed with a tight fitting lid, so the pottery can smoke for 10-15 minutes. Next the pottery is cooled quickly in a bucket of water. When cool enough to handle, each piece is scrubbed to remove any soot.
NOTE: Raku firing is very cool but unpredictable. Some breakage can occur.
