Knitting for Beginners - Part 1     (2 hours/ $ 30 per artist)
Beginners of all ages are discovering the joy of knitting!

We'll learn and practice the basics . . . reading labels, casting on, the knit stitch, and the purl stitch. 

The materials you'll receive for this class will cover you for Knitting for Beginners - Parts 2 and 3, should you choose to continue your introduction to this relaxing and practical art form.    All materials included, no experience required!

Knitting for Beginners - Part 2     (2 hours/ $ 30 per artist)
Build upon what you have learned so far, combining knit and purl stitches to make fun designs!​ We'll learn to follow some basic pattern notations, and then bind off and block our "sampler."

CINDI SPILLMAN
Photography, Mixed Media, Visual Journaling, Art Camps, SoulCollage®

Photography has long been Cindi’s primary art form. She has studied with renowned documentary photographers (including Mary Ellen Mark, Bruce Davidson, Sam Abel, and Antonin Kratochvil), photojournalist Peter Turnley, and National Geographic editor Leah Bendavid-Val and is working on publishing her first book of photographic images, D is for Dog. 

​She'll tell you that ArtLab has three rules:
     1. Tell your inner critic to take a hike.
     2. Try it—even if someone once told you that you weren’t good at it.   
     3. Have fun!

Quotes that inspire Cindi’s creative practice:
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."  —Confucius
​

"The fun for me in collaboration is . . . that working with other people just makes you smarter; that’s proven."  —Lin-Manuel Miranda
