Looking for suggestions:
I'm brainstorming crafts or skills to try out as classes for my library. I'm trying to come up with a list of practical skills that my patrons might be interested in, such as knitting, sewing, scrap-booking, potentially gun maintenance and safety (the local police department sometimes holds classes of this nature).
I'm looking for suggestions of other such skills that might be useful for a library to offer to the general public. These are practical skills classes, so things such as investment or business start-ups are a little outside the scope of what we're looking at providing. At least in this setting.
Any suggestions?
I think all the needle crafts are handy:
Needlepoint Crochet Knitting Embroidery
I think that sewing and learning to make a dress, blouse, pants or how to hem your own pants is useful and most people don't know how to sew anymore.
I would also consider reaching out to organizations to see who you can bring in and then just serve as a point of contact and outreach to the community.
