Show WESTMINSTERFORUM.NET Craft dasses in Salt Lake City Local shops offer knitting, quilting and felt classes Samantha Jacobson Staff Writer The classic arts of knitting, quilting and crafting may be new ways to channel some creative energy. Luckily, Westminster College is located near two local businesses: Pipers Quilts and Comforts and Blazing Needles. These businesses can provide opportunities to get students started on a new adventure. Both businesses feature weekly classes for beginning through advanced knitters. In addition to this, Pipers Quilts also offers quilting, felting, applique and smocking classes. Pipers Quilts and Comforts The classes at Pipers Quilts cost anywhere from $10 to $80. Erin Hamilton, of Pipers Quilts, said that a while a class will not last more than two hours, classes may require more than one session it depends on which class a crafter takes. Learning to quilt may require a larger initial investment. Hamilton estimated quilting would begin at about $100. This cost does co-ow- ner include some basic tools a first time sewer would need. The estimated startup cost for knitting is less expensive coming in at about $15. Every Tuesday night from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Pipers Quilts offers a class called, Knit Happens (or crochet). This class isnt structured around any one project and puts several teachers at students disposal, to help with any project at any level. The class is free with the purchase of knitting materials from Pipers Quilts. Otherwise the class costs $18 an hour. An upcoming class is Felt Accessories Workshop. This workshop will take place on Friday, Oct. 9 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Hamilton said this is one of her favorite classes because its newer and really easy. You can make really cool stuff that doesnt take a lot of skill. Without knowing very much you can do a broad range of things. It allows for a lot of creativity. The cost of this class is $10.
