Two programs are back by popular demand at the Mattapoisett Museum at 5 Church Street.,
Crochet for Beginners and Advanced Beginner Students will occur every Monday at the Museum for six weeks from 6 pm-8 pm, starting March 18 and ending April 22. The dates are:
March 18; March 25; April 1; April 8; April 15 and April 22.
The class will be instructed by Jackie Sousa, who has been knitting and crocheting since she was a small child, a skill her grandmother taught her mom and passed down through the generations. This class is limited to 6-9 people, depending on experience level; tickets must be reserved in advance for the session. Refunds will not be given unless we have to cancel the session. Cost for Museum members is $120 and $130 for nonmembers. Please register at: www.mattapoisettmuseum.org/events
Jackie recommends that you bring a size G or H hook and a skein of cotton yarn, like Lily Sugar’n Cream Super Size Yarn, which can be found at Joann Fabrics.
Watercolor for Beginners – Ned’s Point Lighthouse is also back by popular demand. It will be held on March 21 at 6:00 pm at the Mattapoisett Museum. Have you always wanted to learn the basics of watercolor but were intimidated to give it a go? Watercolor is magical and a bit tricky, but with step-by-step instructions from local artist Lana Quann of “The Wandering Brush” everyone creates a unique one-of-a-kind painting. For a little local flavor, the subject of the painting will be Ned’s Point Lighthouse.
All classes are geared toward beginners, and if you’ve dabbled a bit, you can learn a few techniques to make watercolor painting more enjoyable. Quann supplies all materials and a mat to frame up your finished piece. Please arrive 10 minutes early. BYOB or light beverages and snacks. The cost for Museum members is $35 and $40 for nonmembers.
