Crafting ... childlike freedom to discover or rediscover your creativity, while pushing out of your comfort zone. In this course, you can learn more about a variety of crafts without investing a huge amount of time or money. Ever wonder how all those handcrafted items you see in galleries and fairs are made? It all started with the first step, the basics. The rotating group of instructors will teach a different craft technique each week. If you discover something you enjoy, your instructor can guide you in ways to learn more. If you did not enjoy one craft, attend the next class: the next craft may be more to your liking. The classes are in a demonstration/lecture format, ending with time for questions and answers. No supplies are required to attend the class. Some classes may include handouts that will be made available in advance of each class. Watch the weekly OLLI newsletters if you would like to attend.
