Swedish Weaving with Barbara Oke / 1- 3:30pm
Learn how to add Swedish Weaving to a small table runner.
Swedish weaving is a fairly simple surface darning technique that produces geometric and linear designs on Monk’s cloth.
If you’re eager to try a relatively simple and inexpensive embroidery technique that can produce some pretty results, why not give Swedish weaving a try?

Baking Cookies with Susan Stephen / 10am-1pm
Susan Stephen sold baked goods, including breads, cookies and cinnamon rolls, from 2011-2015 at the New Glasgow Farmers Market, under the Red Road Farm label. She also taught weeklong cooking workshops for children and youth at Flanders Nature Center in Connecticut during the summer of 2016, including themes such as Muffin Mania and Crazy Cupcakes. She’s excited to get back in the kitchen!
ok, these are not cookies and Susan is not in this photo, but you get the idea, the multigenerational fun is what we are showcasing :)
Tatamagouche Centre gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation and the New Horizon for Seniors Program for helping bring this day to life for our community.
