While we often think of Heritage Preservation in terms of architecture, there is also a need to preserve and promote the more ephemeral aspects of our heritage, including traditional crafts and arts. Especially those areas often seen as “women’s work” have tended to be set aside and devalued by our society. Preservation of our whole heritage needs to include preserving and passing on those skills, as well as buildings and old machinery. In our hurried and isolated 21st century lives, many women and men wish they’d had opportunity to learn some traditional handwork—whether to make gifts or just to keep their hands busy while watching TV or attending children’s sports practices. Hobbies that produce functional and beautiful items have, historically, been valued and practiced in our geographic region. Oak Hill Needle Arts School will be preserving and passing on traditional needle arts, while presenting them in contemporary applications. Class offerings will include knitting, crocheting, and embroidery, among others. Classes will be small in size (3-6 students per class), and meet for limited sessions, providing instruction from the most basic to more advanced skills and projects. The goal is to foster love for needle arts, by providing encouragement, fun and useful projects, and expert technical instruction. 50% of all class tuitions will also help to support ongoing maintenance and programming at the Oak Hill School.
Saturday classes are open to anyone 12 years old or older, on a first-come, first-served basis, until each class is full. Pre-registration and payment of class tuition is required, to ensure small classes and optimal student to teacher ratio.
All classes will take place in the historic Oak Hill Schoolhouse, with the first “summer term” starting on Saturdays in June, 2013. In an effort to make traditional arts accessible to all, tuition will be at the basic rate of $10 per 90 minute session, half of which supports Oak Hill School.

Class Descriptions:
Beginning Continental Knitting—“Continental” is the style of best online casino knitting used throughout Europe and Asia, in which the yarn is held in the left hand, requiring much less hand movement to make every stitch. It lends itself to efficient knitting, even tension, and makes colorwork techniques much simpler. It’s a great idea for most knitters to be able to work both “English” style (yarn in right hand) and Continental, although English is what’s usually taught in America. This class, for both absolute beginners and English knitters who’d like to broaden their horizons, will consist of 2 90 minute sessions. Skills taught will include Long tail cast-on, knit stitch, purl stitch and binding off. Each student will learn to read simple knitting patterns, and will make a ribbed neckwarmer, or “scarflette”. Tuition: $20, and plan to spend $10- 15 on needles and yarn. 2 sessions, 6/8 & 6/15; 11AM to 1 PM, bring sack lunch).
Beginning Crochet—This class for absolute beginners will teach the basic stitches and the language of written crochet patterns. The class consists of 3 90 minute sessions, and includes: chain foundation, single crochet, double crochet, turning chains and edging. Students will make an eyelet neck warmer, using all the basic stitches. Both left- and right-handed students are welcome. Tuition: $30, and plan to spend $7- 15 on hook and yarn. 3 Sessions: 6/15, 6/22 & 6/29, 1:30 – 3PM.
Beginning Counted Cross-Stitch—An introduction for absolute beginners, this class will teach students how to read and use a cross stitch chart, stitch technique for single color and multi-color projects, and each student will create a sachet pillow with embroidered front and back. Tuition: $20, plus $5 materials kit(paid separately to teacher). 2 Sessions, 6/22 & 6/29, 3:15 – 4:45PM.
Super Stretchy Cast-On and Bind-Off, for Advanced Beginner knitters (and above). This single-session class will revolutionize your knitting, enabling you to cast-on and bind-off edges that are as stretchy as the fabric you create between them—no more stiff, tight edges, reliable cuffs for socks and sweater sleeves, blankets that lay flat! Because we only cast-on and bind-off when beginning and ending projects, it’s easy to forget the details before next time they’re needed; so class handouts will provide a written reminder of the techniques taught and practiced in class. No project, just a practice swatch. Tuition: $10, no extra cost (you’ll use your scrap yarn and favorite needles). 1 Session, 6/29, 11AM- 1PM (bring a sack lunch).
Granny Squares for Advanced Beginner Crocheters—If you can do the chain stitch and double crochet you can master this most famous and beloved crochet pattern motif. The class will teach the logic of working from center out, with corner increases, changing colors, and joining squares together. Each student will make a 5-Granny Hat. Class handouts will also give lots of other ideas for projects with Granny Squares. Tuition: $10, plan to spend $10-$15 for yarn. 1 session: 6/22, 11AM to 1PM, bring a sack lunch.
All About I-Cord for Advanced Beginner and Intermediate Knitters—I-Cord is one of those techniques that seems scary and difficult….. until you learn the simple knack of it. Then a world of possibilities (drawstrings, purse handles, jewelry,tailored sweater edgings…) opens up! We will first learn to make plain i-cord, in several stitch diameters, and then an applied i-cord edging or bind-off for “finishing” other knitted projects. The class project is a set of feltable coasters with i-cord edging, and i-cord loops for hanging up neatly. Tuition: $10, expect to spend $7 to 10 for yarn. 1 Session, 6/8 1:30 – 3PM.

Author Sharyn McCrumb to speak at Sycamore Shoals on Sept 21
New York Times bestselling author, Sharyn McCrumb, to speak at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area on Saturday, September 21, 2013 at 3 pm during Overmountain Victory Trail Celebration weekend
The weekend of Saturday and Sunday, September 21 and 22 is always a very exciting weekend at Sycamore Shoals as we host the Overmountain Victory Trail Celebration and Muster. During the weekend a host of educational, family activities take place presented by the Washington County Regiment of North Carolina Militia.
This year we are honored to host New York Times bestselling author Sharyn McCrumb at 3 pm on Saturday, September 21st in the Visitor Center of Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area. Sharyn McCrumb will be joining us to speak about her newest book, “King”s Mountain,” and autograph copies as well!
McCrumb is an award-winning Southern writer, best known for her Appalachian Ballad novels, including The Ballad of Tom Dooley, The Devil Amongst the Lawyers, and The Ballad of Frankie Silver. Now, with her latest book, KING’S MOUNTAIN, McCrumb has written her first Ballad novel about the American Revolution, focusing on the Overmountain militia men and the Battle of King’s Mountain, considered by many to have been the turning point of the war. McCrumb paints a vivid and compelling portrait of colonial America and fills her story with fascinating historical characters including one of her own real-life ancestors who fought in the battle.
John Sevier has not taken much interest in the American Revolution, because he’s too busy fighting Indians in the Carolinas and taming the wilderness. But when an arrogant British officer named Patrick Ferguson threatens his settlement—promising to burn the farms and beste online casino kill families—the war becomes personal. In response to Ferguson’s challenge, Sevier (who would later become the first governor of Tennessee) and a group of men, including Isaac Shelby (future first governor of Kentucky), William Campbell (brother-in-law of future VA governor Patrick Henry), and Davy Crockett’s father, John, raise an unpaid volunteer militia of 1,000 men. Bringing their own guns and their own horses, and wearing their civilian clothes, the Overmountain Men engage in a battle with the Tories at King’s Mountain, west of Charlotte. Although George Washington’s Continental Army had suffered a string of defeats in the north, the Overmountain Men with their civilian militia prove that the British forces can be stopped, and their victory at Kings’ Mountain inspires the colonies to fight on.
Expertly researched and written with an extraordinary sense of time and place, KING’S MOUNTAIN is filled with unforgettable characters and rich historical detail.
Please join us as we commemorate the re-enactment of the historic 1780 muster of the Overmountain Men to Kings Mountain by welcoming Sharyn McCrumb and her exciting new book, “King”s Mountain.”
About the Author:
SHARYN MCCRUMB’s books have been named Notable Books of the Year by The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. She was named a “Virginia Woman of History” for Achievement in Literature and won the Appalachian Writer of the Year Award.
Copies of “King”s Mountain” will be available for sale in the Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area Bookstore and Gift Shop
