What we’re about
Let's get together once a month, mid-week (Wednesday is Hump Day) and dedicate time to nurture ourselves and honor our creative spirits while meeting new friends.
Events will be free, and held in public venues. Men -- don't be shy -- you're encouraged to come express your creative selves as well!
Plan to Bring: Whatever tools or materials you need for your quilting, scrap booking, painting, beadwork, sewing, knitting, stained glass, drawing, ceramics, basket weaving, needlepoint, whittling, wood burning, or any other fanciful project
The focus is on taking time off to nurture yourself and honoring your creative spirit, so here are the rules:
- No work, no younguns, no commitments or obligations, no stress!
- Friends are welcome if they’d like to join in (but should register individually)
- There's no obligation to attend every time
