SUMMARY:Fiber Arts Club
DESCRIPTION:The Fiber Arts Club at Gammelgården Museum will meet from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. Bring a project you’re working on\, and join in conversation and community. This is a relaxing gathering for people with projects in progress or in the planning stages. \n  \nThis is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and work on your small projects in knitting\, crocheting\, hand sewing\, needlefelting\, mending\, embroidery\, cross stitching\, tatting\, weaving\, needlepoint\, lacemaking\, macrame\, spinning\, rug hooking\, string art\, or any other fiber art. \n  \nThe club offers people a chance to work on projects\, learn new skills\, get opinions on projects\, and make suggestions to others. It’s a great way to make progress on your creative endeavors. \n\n\n  \nIMPORTANT FOR THIS GROUP – PLEASE READ: \n1. Smaller projects only due to limited room size. So\, unless it can fit in your lap (such as the beginning of a project)\, please leave larger projects like afghans\, large sweaters\, etc. at home. \n2. Small supply totes only. Keep large needlework bags\, boxes of supplies\, etc. at home. There is not enough table and floor space to support items of that size. \n3. Work on a project that you bring to the Fiber Arts Club. Making progress on your project while chit-chatting is the purpose of the group and respect for others’ productivity is important. \n4. Any coffee\, tea\, or soda/pop must be covered.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Crocheting
DESCRIPTION:This beginning-level course is wonderful for those who want to learn how to crochet\, but need some guidance about how to start.  It also is a great class for those who have crocheted many years ago and need a little encouragement to get back into it. \nFirst\, you learn about the best hooks and yarn and then you work on a simple square pattern of single crochet stitches that you can be made into a dishcloth\, hot pad\, or cup cozy. Cara helps students troubleshoot any issues and learn to make those perfect edges. Once the basic stitch is understood\, students may move on to other stitches and projects. \nMaterials that are supplied:  \n\nCotton blend yarn\nCrochet hook\nStitch markers\nPrinted pattern\n\nAge Requirement:\n\nStudents ages 10 and older may attend this class. Ages 10-15 must register with another registered adult. \nRegistration:  \nSign up here:  https://tinyurl.com/crochetingatGG \nCancellation Policy: \nUp to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund. Under 3 weeks before the event\, no refunds. \nAbout the Artist: \n​Hello! I’m Cara. I started my career as a features writer for newspapers and magazines\, but eventually realized I wanted to expand my work into my lifelong passion for crafting. I have always been inspired by my crafty and thrifty grandmother\, Mary Marie Mason\, who taught me how important it was to take time out to make something with your hands. Now I design patterns\, teach classes\, and sell my handmade items. \nIn my knitting and crochet classes\, my goal is to build confidence in beginners by starting with chunky knit projects you can finish in one class. Once you’ve mastered that project\, you can move on to smaller and smaller needles and yarn. I love the moments when it clicks for students. \nMore fun facts: I grew up in Kansas\, then lived in Des Moines\, IA\, Boulder\, CO\, and the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to Saint Paul\, MN with my husband\, Mike. We have two great kids\, Harper and Max.

SUMMARY:Museum Closed for Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:Gammelgården Museum will be closed in observance of Juneteenth. \nWhat is Juneteenth? From Wikipedia: \nJuneteenth\, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day\, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States.  \nThe holiday’s name is a portmanteau of the words “June” and “nineteenth”\, as it was on June 19\, 1865 when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. \n In the Civil War period\, slavery came to an end in various areas of the United States at different times. Many enslaved Southerners escaped\, demanded wages\, stopped work\, or took up arms against the Confederacy of slave states.  \nIn January 1865\, Congress finally proposed the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution for national abolition of slavery. By June 1865\, almost all enslaved were freed by the victorious Union Army\, or abolition laws in some of the remaining U.S. states. When the national abolition amendment was ratified in December\, the remaining enslaved in Delaware and in Kentucky were freed.

SUMMARY:Puppet Making with In the Heart of Beast Puppet Theater
DESCRIPTION:In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre (HOBT) will be at Gammelgården Museum with two teaching artists who will provide a 2-hour puppet making workshop on the theme of celebrating Midsummer\, Summer\, and/or flowers.

Participants younger than 16 years old should be accompanied by an adult. \nRegistration is required as there are a limited number of spots available. Registrations will be accepted through EventBrite and will be filled on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nINFORMATION ABOUT HOBT \nYou will start with water\, flour\, newspaper\, and paint. Add a large measure of imagination and a dollop of artistry to make stories about our world come alive through puppets. This is in the Heart of the Beast’s 50-year-old puppet recipe. \nSince 1973\, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre has helped to create and cultivate the puppetry community in the Twin Cities. \nHOBT is a community of artists working within the larger community to create magic together. They make puppets large and small\, monstrous\, beautiful\, silly\, human\, plant\, and animal. \nYou can see many of their puppets at their Free Puppet Library every first and third Saturday of the month; and they often visit community spaces to engage with neighbors around the Twin Cities Metro and beyond! \nThey use gestures\, voice\, form\, and color\, giving life to puppets that help tell stories to represent the world as it is and as we dream it could be. \n
