Fall Knitting Class Schedule Released
Our knitting class schedule for the fall has now been released. Consult our Calendar View of all classes (includes classes in Whitby), or register for all our classes in our online shop. Below, we're highlighting the next upcoming classes for August to October.
The benefits of taking a class at Artisanthropy are numerous, including a comfortable, spacious work area, a beautiful, warm environment that allows the creative juices to flow, and access to a wide variety of skilled teachers. Additionally, you will always receive a 15% discount on materials purchased for classes (and, when you're an Artisan Rewards member, you still earn points for those purchases, as well as on class registrations).
Be sure to register in advance for any and all classes you're interested in, as spaces are limited in each one. You may register online at the links provided below, or by making your way to the shop at 79C King St W, in downtown Cobourg.

A Note from the Owner
 Some of you may have seen my posting on Facebook the other day. We're working on a bit of a remodeling of the space! After over a year in downtown Cobourg, we felt it was time to shake things up a little bit. Please bear with us as we enter show season and have limited time to complete all of the modifications we wish to do. Rest assured our class space is still spacious and comfortable. More IS coming!
