Bring any project you are working on while we spend time discussing our 2026 calendar.
Please pick a month and a class you would like to teach or attend for the 2026 calendar.
If you don’t want to teach but would like to attend a certain class or learn a certain technique, you can reach out to Toni for possible teacher contacts. When you sign up for a month you will be responsible for contacting the teacher for information, set up needs, any items attendees need, etc. The idea is that we all participate in teaching, communication and calendar set up.
