beginner-friendly workshop, students will learn foundational leatherworking skills while creating a small set of practical tools for knitting and fibre projects. Participants will: - Set hardware by making a leather needle keeper - Hand-sew a small leather pouch designed to hold stitch markers - Create a set of five leather stitch markers, customized using leather stamps Along the way, students will learn basic leather-working techniques including hole punching, setting snaps, simple hand stitching, and surface stamping. All projects are designed to be useful, portable, and achievable within the class time, with no prior leather-working experience required. This class is ideal for knitters and fibre artists who enjoy learning new skills and want handmade tools they’ll actually use. Registration Cost: $75 Materials Cost: $20 per student paid to instructor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1dc56afe54efb29628758a/dbaeeb59-be9d-40e6-ae34-d38ad96e2318/Copy+of+Cat+Coasters+%286%29.png Classes - Make it stand out About This Event In this 3 hour workshop we will create a needle felted sloth buddy, ready to hang out!! Supplies include: fibre, a pattern, a felting needle, and a piece of upholstery foam to work on. Students to Bring: Scissors About the Instructor: I had an amazing career in animation and before the computer took over the hand drawn elements of animation, I traveled all over the world working on features and television shows. As I travelled, I studied different creative arts; silk embroidery in Korea, batik dyeing in Singapore, pottery in Phoenix and finally in Berlin I found the art of felt making. So, in 2002, I began creating wooly sculptures and landscapes, making needle felting kits and most enjoyably....teaching the art of Needle Felting. I love teaching this passion because it’s SO simple and everyone can do it! The felting needle can be used almost as a paint brush to create multiple layers of depth in a landscape or as a carving tool to make the 3 dimensional art I love so much. www.wendovanessen.blogspot.ca Registration Cost: $75 Materials Cost: $40 per student paid to the instructor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1dc56afe54efb29628758a/87e735b2-8bf5-44b4-8f2b-c35e385c2e8a/subs.png Classes - Make it stand out Choosing the Right Type of Yarn when Substituting - You know we all do it! The best way to become a more confident knitter or crocheter is to understand the different types of yarns available today. Once you know the basics, you will choose the right type of yarn every time. In this workshop we will cover choosing the right fibre; how to substitute yarn; determining your mystery yarn stash, and ways to mix yarns to achieve a completely new fabric. This is a hands-on class where you will get to taste test various yarn and fibres; practice changing your yarns to create a successful project; swatch until you are happy; and experience the various colour tools available to help you create a completely new fabric. You will walk away with many guides to aid in your future decision making and a greater knowledge of fibres, yarns, and the fabrics that they create. About the Instructor: Tracy Minnema began dabbling in the fibre arts at five years old. Crocheting and knitting were her first foray into this world. Sewing, dressmaking, needlework, and quilting, soon followed. Having obtained a Fashion Merchandising Diploma, Tracy worked for a few years in the fashion industry in Toronto. Following this, she was accepted into Queen’s University Faculty of Education, and earned an Education Certification in Technological Studies – Clothing and Fashion Specialization. In June 2021, Tracy retired from teaching at the secondary level in Family Studies after 30 years. Working with fibres and textiles has always been a part of both her personal and professional life.

It isn't a stretch class or ergonomics lecture but an intro to an alternative option to reducing your tension from your craft. Your body is talking. are you listening? You finish a row — or ten — and there it is. stiffness in your neck. an ache across your shoulders. discomfort in your back. tightness in your hands that wasn't there when you sat down. So you do what you've always done. you stretch. you take a walk. you put the knitting down for the day and hope tomorrow feels better, but what if stretching isn't really the answer? what if there's another way — one that actually works with how your body learns and moves? Neck & shoulder tension after time with your project • stiffness in your back from sitting - aching hands, wrists or fingers • that familiar knitters slump (the "schlump") - feeling like your body is working against you • wondering how much longer you can keep this up Our focus areas: Real change. - the seated body takes a toll on your back | connecting to your 3-dimensional body & breath - where most knitters feel it first | your upper body: shoulders, neck & head - the tools of your craft | arms, hands & fingers - the extras | eyes & integrations Registration Cost: $35 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1dc56afe54efb29628758a/77d0d27a-9913-46f8-ad95-d5969c520732/Copy+of+Cat+Coasters+%284%29.png Classes - Make it stand out About This Event There's a lot to love about lace!

You will finish your tulips during the class. Supplies include: fibre, a pattern, a felting needle, a background, and a piece of upholstery foam to work on. About the Instructor: I had an amazing career in animation and before the computer took over the hand drawn elements of animation, I traveled all over the world working on features and television shows. As I travelled, I studied different creative arts; silk embroidery in Korea, batik dyeing in Singapore, pottery in Phoenix and finally in Berlin I found the art of felt making. So, in 2002, I began creating wooly sculptures and landscapes, making needle felting kits and most enjoyably....teaching the art of Needle Felting. I love teaching this passion because it’s SO simple and everyone can do it! The felting needle can be used almost as a paint brush to create multiple layers of depth in a landscape or as a carving tool to make the 3 dimensional art I love so much. www.wendovanessen.blogspot.ca Students to Bring: Scissors Registration Fee: $75 Materials Fee: $30 - $45 paid to the instructor depending on selections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1dc56afe54efb29628758a/a3fed457-e17e-47a8-91ab-9213b58a7135/Knit+without+the+knots+good+design+may+7+%281%29.png Classes - Make it stand out Knit without the knots is gentle, intelligent, nervous-system-based approached using Hanna somatic movements to help understand and shift patterns that have become problematic. It isn't a stretch class or ergonomics lecture but an intro to an alternative option to reducing your tension from your craft. Your body is talking. are you listening? You finish a row — or ten — and there it is. stiffness in your neck. an ache across your shoulders. discomfort in your back. tightness in your hands that wasn't there when you sat down. So you do what you've always done. you stretch. you take a walk. you put the knitting down for the day and hope tomorrow feels better, but what if stretching isn't really the answer? what if there's another way — one that actually works with how your body learns and moves? Neck & shoulder tension after time with your project • stiffness in your back from sitting - aching hands, wrists or fingers • that familiar knitters slump (the "schlump") - feeling like your body is working against you • wondering how much longer you can keep this up Our focus areas: Real change. - the seated body takes a toll on your back | connecting to your 3-dimensional body & breath - where most knitters feel it first | your upper body: shoulders, neck & head - the tools of your craft | arms, hands & fingers - the extras | eyes & integrations Registration Cost: $35 https://www.kyaff.ca/2025-vendors daily 0.75 2026-03-15 https://www.kyaff.ca/2025-vendors-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.kyaff.ca/2026vendors daily 0.75 2026-05-02
