This quilting course is designed for the beginner and intermediate student and is offered Mon, Tue and Wed nights. Both levels are taught in the same class. Beginners will work on a 9-Patch wall hanging that will teach the basics of rotary cutting, machine piecing, and hand quilting. The intermediate project will be Quilted Surprise (but not a mystery). As always, you’re welcome to bring your U.F.O projects to finish. All students will need to have the necessary rotary cutting mat, ruler, cutter and their own sewing machine. There is limited enrollment for this class, so sign up early. There will be an Open House Wednesday, Apr. 11, at Winslow High School room 212 from 6:00- 7:30 pm. This will allow beginners to see the project and get their materials list. Limit 15 students per class night

In this extremely informative class we’ll start by talking about the legal documents everyone should have in place, then cover planning ahead, writing things down, and having a conversation with the family about those plans. That will lead into a Q&A guided by your questions. We can talk about funeral options, home funerals, green cemeteries, alkaline hydrolysis, family burying grounds, scattering ashes, filling out the paperwork, whatever you want to know. We’ll share stories. I’ll bet that you’ll even laugh sometimes. Chuck Lakin is a woodworker and home funeral educator, whose interest in this topic came from his experience at his father’s death. He wanted to be a part of what happened after the death, but didn’t know what to do, and missed out. Now he knows and wants to share that information.

In 3.5 hours you can make an incredibly soft purse or scarf by felting merino wool.  This involves fusing the wool fibers together with hot water and soap.  No experience needed.  Come be part of an old-time type gathering.  Young people who are interested in learning to felt and are between 12 to 17 may register with their parent or guardian who is taking the class.  If you have a hand sander please bring it.  Also you should bring an apron if you have one and two absorbent towels (not your best ones).  A $25 material fee is payable to the instructor at start of class.  Limit 8 students.

The WorkReady Certificate is a state-certified skills-building program designed to shape foundational and essential skills for any career field. Maine employers, service-providers, and educators developed the curriculum based on the real skills employers said were foundational to a good employee. Some baseline skills covered are: teamwork, resumes & cover letters, mock interviews, workplace conflict resolution, determining priorities, and knowledge about general business practices. The WorkReady certificate course has been broken into four separate modules of five weeks each. Successful completion of each module will earn the learner a “ticket”. Once the learner has earned all four tickets, they will be issued their certificate. High School Diploma students who participate in all four modules will earn 1.25 elective credits.

This will be a free session for any interested alumni and new students. The instructor will inspect worm bins, demonstrate and assist with harvesting, and answer any questions. The instructor will bring six harvest kits for alumni to use harvesting their own worm bins.
