Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13, 2019 Melrose Arts and Crafts Society showcases variety of classes U nder the direction of Helene Butler, members of the Melrose Arts and Crafts Society made stone sculptures for their yards this past spring. We meet the last Monday of each month at the First Baptist Church in Melrose at 9:00 a.m. If this looks interesting to you, you might be surprised to learn that once a month from September to May, we have classes in jewelry-making, painting, paper-crafting, towel animals and more. We have new classes planned for the 2019-2020 season, such as ribbon flowers, paper clip earrings, crayon Christmas balls, quilting and many, more. The Teddy Bear Workshop is available if you don’t take a class. Using a pattern, members sew teddy bears in colorful fabrics, and other members stuff them at the meeting. The finished teddy bears are then sent to MelroseWakefield Hospital for children in the ER. If the classes or bear-stuffing don’t interest you, we also have “sit and knit” where members knit, crochet, work on other craft projects or get or give help to one another. Melrose Arts and Crafts Society also presents programs each month, such as the Ice Cream Social this September, our anThe Melrose Arts and Crafts Society offers classes, such as jewelry-making, painting, paper-crafting and towel animals.
