手工入門：Waldorf/Charlotte Mason Inspired

Handwork is a key component in the Waldorf and Charlotte Mason methods. This class is perfect for homeschool families who espouse either. It is for absolute beginners  and is a true introduction to many forms of handwork meant to inspire learners to find the art forms that suit them and to engage them in the skills of focus, curiosity, creativity and design as well as the life skills sewing and handwork provide. Students will learn different handwork skills each work.

A supply list and PDF guide will be provided at the beginning of each week to guide the student's work.

Each class will include the following:  
- A demonstration of the new skill or technique to learn that week (10-15 min).
- Practice time 
- Discussion and help when need arises as students start their weekly project (remainder of class) and sharing of work.

Weekly Schedule:
Week 1 - Button picture (sewing buttons on burlap)
Week 2 - Chicken Scratch heart (cross stitching on gingham)
Week 3 - Hand-sewn pillow (running, blanket and lazy daisy stitch on felt)
Week 4 - Hand sewn jelly fish feltie (satin stitch, straight stitch)
