Tips and Other Helpful Information

Table space.  You will have "half" of a round table for your work space.  You may have more space depending upon the number of people who sign up.

Bring your own basic craft supplies.  Bring supplies that you know you will need to make your crafts.  Please LABEL your items or be sure you keep track of them if you share tools, etc.  Bring a glue gun/glue sticks for our Saturday crafts lessons.

Electricity.  If you need to have your work area near an electric outlet, let us know when you sign-up. Bring an extension cord to give you extra length to the plugs.

Comfort.  Wear whatever makes you feel creative and cozy.  Bring a soft cushion for your tush to give comfort from the plastic chairs in Heartland Hall.
