Want Sam Barsky to come to your city/town, knit one or more sweaters featuring landmarks in your town, and make an appearance for the public? Send email to colorknit1@aol.com
NOTICE: Due to the COVID pandemic, I had previously suspended all in-person workshops for almost two years. But I am now willing and excited to hold them once again, provided they are outdoors or masks are worn by all.
SERVICES OFFERED
- Some of my sweaters will be brought to the location for others to see during my visit. How many will depend on the mode of travel and luggage limits. If you would like for me to bring any specific sweater from my collection, let me know in advance.
- Speech about my story that knitters and non-knitters alike can attend
- Meet-and-greet
- Class in which I teach some of the techniques I use to others
- Display of some of my sweaters in a secure viewing area for the public to see
- Knitting a sweater of one or more landmarks in the area and taking a picture while wearing it in front of that landmark (sufficient advance notice to knit the sweater required; in most cases I keep the sweater; media is welcome to be present)
