Ouch Free Stitching! Ergonomic Stitching & Injury Prevention

Pain-free stitching is happy stitching! 

Join us for a two-session, in-depth workshop exploring how to keep your body safe and happy while stitching.

Saturdays, November 7th AND 14th 6-8pm 

What you'll learn in this class: This two-session workshop will go over the most common types of injuries that knitters and crocheters get, and how to prevent them.

With the help of certified Physical Therapist, Julia Glick, you'll learn some basic anatomy, what causes aches and pains, and how you can help yourself be a lifelong crafter – without the ouch!

Knitting and crochet instructor Keish will also talk in-depth about crafting styles, hand posture, and how you can best adapt your tools to be successfully pain free from cast on to cast off.

Each class will have an informational component as well as several demonstrations on how best to work out the most tender areas that often plague us when we craft.

What you'll get in this class: This class will include informational handouts as well as some take home aids to help you stretch and roll out body parts that ache (as demonstrated in the class).

Note: This workshop will not be hands-on physical therapy or constitute medical advice! We're here to learn and help.

Required Materials: 

Please bring something to take notes with. Julia will provide handouts and materials.
