The BCHS Yarn Club

Did you know that Briarcrest High School has a yarn club? Well, we do. The Yarn Club is comprised of approximately 30 students. They meet once a month under the guidance of Mrs. Longworth and are now in their second year of existence. 


Up until this point, the group has enjoyed sharing their common interest in knitting, crocheting and needlepoint while working on individual projects; however, they are currently considering a joint project where each person will knit (or crochet) a square, then the squares will be joined together to make one large blanket. The finished product will be donated to charity. 


When I met with the group, they explained that knitting, crocheting and needlework serves as a stress reliever as well as a vehicle in which to share their passion with others. Having a club adds a social aspect to an otherwise solitude activity. No experience is needed to join because skilled members will happily teach those who want to learn.

All Saints Paint Evening a Huge Success!

11/21/2014

0 Comments

 
Briarcrest's East Campus First Grade teacher, LeAnn Farris, had her work cut out for her, but boy did she succeed in teaching thirty-two eager adults to paint a beautiful picture, each and every one worthy of hanging. The evening was filled with laughter as we journeyed together on a path of exploration that uncovered hidden talents. Thank you Mrs. Farris, Mrs. Weintraub, and Mrs. Fergus for not only hosting the event, but for bringing out the artist in us all.

There is already talk of another All Saints Paint event in the spring. It's not official yet, so don't quote me, but... maybe it can be worked out. If it does come about, you will see a link for the signup posted on the main BCS webpage, and I will post it again on this blog. Let me just warn you, it sells out fast, so when you see the link, grab a friend or two and sign up asap! Just look at all the fun you'll have:

One participant, Betsy Ellis, summed it up well by saying, "What you did last night was really amazing---taking a not so ‘artsy’ crowd and helping us to have fun and create a unique piece of art is a real gift!"

I can't wait to do it again!
