TG101 CROCHET
Remember all those lacy doilies your grandmother had on the arms of the furniture or on the dining room table? You can recreate them easily or make great mufflers, baby clothes, afghans, vests and much more. It's quicker than knitting if you like immediate results, and you can still use all that great yarn-wool, cottons or acrylics work well. Bring one skein of any bulky yarn and a number 00, 0 or J size hook to class. You can find these at most arts and crafts stores.

TG104 MASK MAKING
Make a ceramic mask using your own face or the face of a friend as your subject. This workshop will consist of four 1 ½ hour classes. The process starts with creating the cast of a face; finishing the cast; using it to press a clay mask and prepare it for bisque firing; and glazing the mask to fire it again. Finish work includes embellishing and decorating the mask for hanging. There will be examples shown by Joan Artiaga, who has been making masks in her studio for the past five years. The cost of the workshop includes all materials and firings. Students must bring a few personal items for decoration.
