KNITWIT with ANTHONY
4:30-5:30 p.m.
Cost: $225
Grab your needles and cozy up this winter trimester. Students will learn the basics of knitting, purling,
casting on and binding off. Students will be introduced to the garter stitch, stockingknit stitch, seed stitch,
ribbing, and cabling. Students will each knit a square for a blanket for charity and will chose a project to
make for themselves (examples: fingerless mitts, cowl, hat).
TUESDAYS: January 5 to March 8
CHEF MIKE
4:30-5:30 p.m.
Cost: $275
This class teaches the basic techniques of cooking, such as searing, braising, roasting, baking, sautéing,
making sauces, and practicing safe knife skills. Cooking is a practical skill that has infinite possibilities,
involves creativity, and brings people together. The recipes will be driven by student interest and can
cover all types of foods. Once the basic techniques are learned, I believe everyone has the ability to be
their own favorite chef because nobody knows your likes and dislikes better than you! Dietary restrictions
will definitely be taken into consideration.

masks and puppets to use in a parade and performance. The class is
comprised of ten sessions where students infuse project management, imagination, collaboration, and
extracurricular research on relevant content to produce their own series of skits based on myths of their
own making. Emphasis will be placed on creative output and communal collaboration, and the construction
component will be a blend of traditional mediums with the repurposed, discarded and ordinary.
