These are short little 'how-to' projects we begin our meetings with in the first hour. 
Then in the second hour we work on our own stuff that we bring, which might include what we learn that night. Or we are also free to explore & ask questions. 

            Our very first meeting in July  2003 was led by Lael: Wooden Stick Weaving.
