An awesome turnout and fabulous meeting yesterday (Sat 02/27) at the VABC.
The Show and Tell was amazing in the artistry and craft displayed by members of the group.

—fourth Saturdays of most months—
Note about times: Some sessions are all-day workshops: 9:00am-4:00pm, with a one-hour break for lunch. Others are afternoon sessions: 1:00-4:00pm. Participants are encouraged to arrive early enough to pay, unpack tools and materials, and be prepared to begin the session on time.
