"Florida RECyc Led "
" The Art Of Original "
JeWelRy and WeAraBle "Things"
She exhibits her work at Gallerie Chiz, Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Patricia Boutique
to name just a few. Check out her web site here
Here is her personal statement-
I started literally thinking "outside the crayon box" at age 5 ...wanting to save every
intriquing street find, I secretly crammed interesting things into my crayon box in hopes
that my mother would not find them... leaving me with the monumental problem of
where to put my crayons. Cramming, jamming, hoarding and ultimately using, justified a
process that seems to be the nature of my life...outgrowing space, erasing definition and
challenging mental limits ...salvaging "things" and revising identity and function turned
my eccentricities, compulsions and love affair with "things" into a trend that eventually
named itself "going green" ...and at last legitimizing my salvaging purpose in life. My
work is a blending of my years of finds, experiences and compulsive junk/treasure
shopping sprees. Not knowing when to stop, I graduated from jewelry to wearable things
and ventured into 3 dimensional projects. Simplifying the assignment of explaining the
cosmic meaning and expansion of my work, I modestly and simply declare that I just
really like to create "pretty things to look at and wear".
These are samples of some of the pieces you can complete in your first class.

***We Welcome Heidi Kozar to Knit One North***
Instructor Extraordinaire!!!
Thought I would share with you a little info about Heidi. She has designed knitwear for
Renaissance Yarns, Interweave Knits and Knitter's Magazine. Her patterns are fantastic. She
worked for a time for Erica Wilson on Nantucket and learned a lot about the other needle arts.
Heidi has been teaching workshops and classes for over 8 years. In her words she says, "My work has
focused on the more traditional, classic styles of knitting, but with a twist of color or embellishment.
I love the little details that really make a hand knit sing." Most important, Heidi is a very patient,
kind teacher who has that knack of making something difficult seem simple.
We welcome Heidi and know that you will, too.
Scroll down to a description of her class at the North.
