There is a great set of craft classes taught by very talented artists at the New City Library. Imagine that you are going to camp and making crafts but instead, you will be in the coolness of the library. Beginning July 21, 11 AM, a member of the Westchester Area Basketmakers Guild will teach a simple basket design. If you have never made one, basketry is both meditative as well as functional in its application. Materials are supplied; $10 fee for materials. August 1, 10AM, a talented artist, Gar Wang, will show you how to water felt wool into a small artistic bag. Wool felting can incorporate many colors and produce a fabric that will practically never wear out.Materials fee, $10. Finally, on August 6 at 1 PM, teacher Meghan Babin will enhance your knitting skills by showing several ways to increase and decrease stitches including the short row technique. Bring yarn and choice of knitting needles. Call for further information.Registration required at 634-4997 Ext 139.
