What we’re about
Hi Crafters, Artists, and ALL Creatives!
Do you find yourself staring at your ever-growing project pile with awe and dread? Do you worry the sun may implode before you get through your art supply stash? Do you want to learn to do ALL THE THINGS, current project pile be damned? This may be the group for you!
I wanted to find a fun, inclusive group of folks to work on a variety of projects with, and perhaps get through my own untenable mending pile in the process. I didn't find one, so I made one. We all have projects that need finishing, and new stuff to work on and learn, so hopefully this group will be force us to set some time aside for our creative pursuits.
We'll have a mix of events; one-off classes, time for specific crafts, and open days to work on anything pending. I'm a firm believer in the community spirit, and a group is only as successful as the work its members put in. If you want to host an event, SPEAK UP! I'll happily make you an organizer. I haven't learned all the arts and crafts (yet), so don't know what I don't know.

I thought I posted this way back, but apparently not. I know I post a lot of not directly art related stuff, but I think this has broad appeal. It's a great group of folks!
Have you ever thought about the books you read for school in elementary school or junior high and wondered how they held up? Or did you miss reading some of them altogether? Well, we're going to be reading and discussing them in this group.
For the record, I'm not talking about things you probably read for pleasure (i.e. Harry Potter, Stephen King), or things that verge on high literature (i.e. Steinbeck, Shakespeare, Hemmingway), but the narrow band of children's literature actually written for that age range. My examples include The Giver, Hatchet, or Island of the Blue Dolphins. All those were Newbery award winners, and we'll probably draw extensively from this list: Newbery Medal - Wikipedia
I'm going to restrict the range to things written in the 20th century, though if this really gets legs, we can expand. I'm mostly interested in reading some of the things from my youth that I vaguely remember.This event is co-ed (mostly because Dave was super interested in it and helped work on the concept), and all ages, so feel free to invite whoever may be interested. We'll meet on the second Thursday of the month. We'll meet on zoom, and here's the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81247470036?pwd=bnZCSDJNZ29UUUZTRjBhcTd6KytRdz09.
THE BOOKS ARE SELECTED ONE MONTH AHEAD AT THE PRIOR MONTH'S MEETING. So, May's book was selected in April, etc. They will be announced on the event comments on the Thursday night or Friday morning after our meeting.
NB: I don't know how any of these books have aged, and I am not posting any TWs, so please be aware these books are across the board and use your discretion.
