While that theory has since fallen by the wayside, it stays true in the individual case: many local merchants have found satisfaction and profit in using their hands, albeit visible ones, plying their trades on the learning public and conducting classes and workshops in their areas of specialty.Courses in crafts are readily accessible to the inexperienced, and provide an easy way to ease the bite of commercial costs; a homemade object d%u2019art can be the aesthetic equal of a crafted one, and can give one a site more selfpride to boot. And, of course, a^ personalized present beats highpriced mass-produced trinkets any day.WEAVING: A whole range of new fabrics, ideas, and patterns are opened to students of the loom as they explore the manufacture, design and workings of creating cloth. This ten-week course is offered through the Weaver%u2019s Studio, 69A Seventh Ave., on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm starting Oct. 3, tuition $85. All materials and apparatus included; course taught by Judith Shangold. for more information, call 857-9221.SPINNING: And, of course, before it gets to the loom, flax must be treated, prepared and finally drawn into threads and cords fine and dependable enough to manufacture fabrics.
