SUMMARY:Elevate Your Knitting with Texture
DESCRIPTION:Elevate Your Knitting with Texture\nwith Katrina Geurkink\nSaturday\, November 1st\, 2025\n9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nTHIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.\nShaker arts and crafts are known for striking\, innovative\, and functional designs. Textured knitting shares these qualities. It can be used to create beautiful\, intriguing fabric with a range of performance features like stretch\, breathability\, durability\, moisture wicking and extra warmth. And your knitting doesn’t have to be complicated to create stunning\, textured pieces. It can be as simple as combining knit and purl stitches in unique ways; or employing increases and decreases in repetitive patterns that take your knitting to the next level. In this workshop we will explore a range of knitting stitches and techniques. Most are easy to learn and they all produce fabrics full of beautiful texture. We will begin with work on small pieces\, designed to develop skills and best practices. Once learned\, you will apply these skills to create a knitted item of your choice. The instructor has designed several textured knitting charts that can be incorporated into your project. You will receive the full collection of knitting charts during the workshop\, so you can continue developing your textured knitting skills at home and integrate the charts and stitches into future projects. This workshop is a great opportunity to get an early start on knitted gifts for the holidays. \nIn the workshop\, you will learn: \n\nDesign considerations for textured knitting: how to select the right yarn\, needles and color for your texture projects\, including advantages and disadvantages of different choices\nDifferent techniques to create texture in your knitting\, including: knit/purl combinations\, assigned pooling\, lace\, combining different fibers\, and simple cables\nCombining more than one texture in a project\nKnitting “rhythms” and how they can be used to increase accuracy and reduce “tinking” and “frogging”\nHow to read and work with textured knitting charts\nMany tips and tricks throughout the day as well as cameos about Shaker fiber art and crafts.\n\n  \nWorkshop participants will need to bring their own knitting needles and other tools (scissors\, etc.) and pay the materials fee in advance. This fee covers all the texture charts\, yarn\, some supplies and handouts for the workshop. Participants will have the option to purchase additional yarn\, texture patterns\, tools and other supplies on the day of the workshop. \n  \nSkill Level: Basic – Intermediate. You do not need textured knitting skills/experience to attend this workshop\, but you should have basic to intermediate knitting skills\, and enthusiasm and patience for learning new knitting techniques. \n  \nCost: \n$75.00 to register for the workshop\, plus the materials fee $35. Due at the time of registration. \nPlease bring your own lunch. Water and light refreshment will be provided. \n  \nYou will receive more information (including a detailed list of what to bring) via email when you register and pay for the workshop. \n  \nWho Is Katrina Geurkink? \nKatrina is a consultant\, designer and fiber artist living in Lebanon\, NH. She has taught\, studied and worked with organizations and learning communities for over thirty-seven years. She is a skilled facilitator\, consultant\, coach\, teacher and graphic recorder and has a wonderful way of interweaving these different abilities in her work with clients and other artists. She has traveled to many countries around the world\, leading projects\, giving presentations at conferences\, designing learning experiences and consulting with a variety of organizations and communities. \nShe first started playing with fiber when she was five years old. She learned how to knit and sew from her mother and grandmother\, and occasionally from her older sister. They were strong role models and a constant source of inspiration\, demonstrating over and over the incredible things one can create with one’s own hands. She started adapting knitting patterns as a teenager and creating her own knitting\, sewing and other designs when she was in her early twenties. She has played with many different disciplines in the realm of fiber arts: knitting\, crochet\, beading/wire working\, sewing\, surface design\, origami\, and visible mending to name a few. She is an artist member at AVA Gallery and is currently developing online courses and a YouTube Channel to help a wider audience learn from demonstrations of fiber art and craft techniques. \nLocation: North Family Laundry Building – Stone building at 410 NH Route 4A\, Enfield\, NH 03748 \n  \nComing from a distance?

SUMMARY:Pantry Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pantry Basket Workshop\nwith Dona Nazarenko\nSaturday\, November 1st\, 2025\n9:00 – 4:00pm\nJoin us in the Great Stone Dwelling dining room for a full day workshop! Add a modern twist to a traditional Shaker Pantry Basket in this hands-on workshop. Shaker sisters once wove pantry baskets so large they required two people to carry them—but today’s design offers both history and utility. This basket includes a woven side pocket\, perfect for extra tools\, garden supplies\, BBQ essentials\, or crafting materials. Participants will use natural round and flat reed\, paired with a tall oak handle\, and can choose to add color accents if desired. We’ll even decorate the top of the handle for a personal touch. Beginners will have the option to finish their rim work at home. \nWho is Doña Nazerenko? \nResiding in Tunbridge\, Vermont\, Doña Nazarenko has been weaving since 1988 and teaching since 1994. While living along the New Jersey coast\, Doña developed an interest in woodcrafts and related art forms that developed into her desire to take basket making classes in 1988. \nHer exploration of a different art medium has since evolved into a flourishing talent. She now enjoys making traditional baskets using reed with wooden accents to more challenging baskets using birch bark from the area surrounding her current residence in rural Vermont. \nThe highlight of the early years at her craft was having a one-on-one critique with John McGuire at Peter’s Gallery in 1992. His confidence in her and his discretion continues to help her with her current work. Today she can be seen demonstrating basketry representing Vermont fiber artists at local and out-of-state events. \n*Please bring your own lunch. Water and light refreshments will be provided. \nCost: \nLarge size (10 inches by 14 inches) \nMembers – $70 \nNon-Members – $80 \nMedium size (8 inches by 10 inches) \nMembers – $60 \nNon-Members – $70 \n*All proceeds go to the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum. \nComing from a distance? Stay at the historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our room availability here.
