Bring your sketch pad and favorite drawing materials. We will meet for a short drawing demonstration and then find an interesting spot around the Nature Center to independently create nature sketches. At the end of the session, we will share our sketches with the group for an informal critique. Come prepared to draw outside but if the weather is poor, we will meet inside. All levels of experience are welcome.

KNIT AND CROCHET CIRCLE
Saturday, November 15th: 1pm - 3pm
Age: 15 & Up
FREE/Donations kindly accepted
We all know that spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood and boost feelings of happiness and well-being. But did you know that knitting (and crocheting) can lower heart rate and blood pressure and reduce harmful blood levels of stress hormones? Join us in the Nature Center, as we explore the benefits of knitting surrounded by the beauty of nature. The group is open to all skill levels, including newer knitters who need help reading patterns, choosing yarns, needles etc. and beginners who have never knitted before. We can make recommendations for patterns and locally sourced supplies to help you on your knitting journey. We don't want to exclude our community of crocheters! You are welcome! Our group leaders have only limited experience in crochet but we are willing to learn any new fiber related skill. These are open sessions, no pre-registration necessary. Limited to adults and children 15 and over.
