All events are tentatively scheduled and may change. Please see the CMCL Events Calendar on our website, follow us on social media, and subscribe to our weekly eNewsletter for any and all updates.

• A polystyrene ball
• Fabric
• Cording and Ribbons

The class is limited, so please sign up for ONE of the three offerings this month - the Lower and Court House sessions will be for INTERMEDIATES ONLY, having taken at least one of the previous Kimekomi classes. The Stone Harbor session will be for beginners or intermediates.

Note for BEGINNERS: Your ornament will look like the 6-section ball to the left.

For INTERMEDIATES, you may choose between that design or the design below.

Hello! My name is Joanne Infante, and I am looking forward to bringing the wonderful, relaxing Japanese technique of Kimemoni ornament making to our Library patrons. I am a Mom to Three, Nana to Eight and a former PreSchool teacher. I have been a lifelong crafter and have worked with different forms of crafting mediums, with Fiber Arts always being my favorite. For the past twelve years, I have been making unique ornaments using polystyrene balls and fabric. This has become more than a hobby; it is a passion. The design possibilities are endless and it is an Art that is easily learned.

After moving here to Cape May County in 2017, I wanted to share my love of crafting with the community, and founded the Cape May Crafters. This in-person Social club has members of all ages, with a diverse knowledge of crafting techniques, and meets weekly in Lower Township. I would like to say “Thank you” to the Cape May County Library for allowing me the opportunity to teach this, and I am sure you will find this crafting experience as rewarding as I do. See you all at the classes!
