In Time and Place
Netting With Shuttle & Gauge
S1
Netting is a skill so old it appears in ancient mythologies. This knotted form of looping survives because it creates a structure so stable it will not unravel even when cut. The workshop will focus on diamond mesh forms worked in the round. You will learn to take up a grommet base and use a collecting knot to complete each row. After practicing the technique, you'll make a small mesh carrier for your water bottle or thermos, then begin a second project to complete on your own - either a string shopping bag or a shaped sack to sew to a hoopstyle fishing net. Donna will also demonstrate how to start flat items like hammocks and decoy carriers. The fee includes warp, shuttle, gauges, tension aids and handouts; handcrafted bentwood fishing net frames are available for purchase from the instructor for an additional $30. 60 306 61312

Yoga, Sauna, and Brunch in Nature
S2
Embrace breath, sky, fire and water as we revel in the simple pleasures of stretching, sweating, swimming and eating in the company of friends and nature. Dance and yoga instructor Melanie
Lindert will be our guide. We'll enjoy one hour of gentle Hatha yoga overlooking Lake Myrtle, before indulging in a beautiful and earthy white-cedar sauna. When we've had enough heat, we'll head to the waters of Lake Myrtle for a swim or a paddle. Lunch will be served outdoors, where we'll observe eagles, loons and maybe an otter while eating a healthy, hearty, gourmet brunch. Come prepared with towels, bathing suit, and water bottle. Prerequisite: Must be at least 11 years of age and know how to swim. For those with heart or blood pressure issues, the sauna portion of the program is not recommended. 60 807 65803
