Global GourmetTeacher: Ruth Hernandez

What’s on your plate at the Learning Vine this year? What would be on your plate if you sat down to eat in Europe? Africa? Asia? These questions will be answered as we prepare NEW foods that kids in other countries enjoy and as we glimpse their cultures. Using fun activities, we’ll learn things about their languages, clothes, art, what they do for fun, and much more. We’ll also assemble a booklet of recipes and facts to remind us of the places we’ve studied. So, if you want to cook and sample some tasty foods, AND if you want to learn about how other people live, then come and put something new on your plate as we explore the world in this multicultural gourmet adventure!

Join us for this fun crafty class! Beginners will start working on their first project the very first day of class. Advanced students will choose projects to build on the skills they have already mastered.
Throughout this class, students will learn how to read patterns and choose the proper weight and fiber for their yarn projects. We will focus on crochet projects during first semester and knitting projects during second semester. Crochet projects include a necklace or lanyard cord, a hair scrunchie, coaster, scarf and more. Knit projects will include a headband, tech cozie, fingerless mittens and more. And for our advanced students, the sky is the limit! They will work with the instructor to find the projects that are perfect for their skill level!
