I have learned a new craft and it is so fun. The art class that was canceled a couple of weeks ago was Sunday afternoon at Urban Arts & Crafts. Although the actual instructor never showed up, one of the other class participants had done some soldering before and showed us what she knew.
I decided I would not let the supplies and the time at such a cool craft store go to waste and not come home with a homemade treasure. The store allowed us to use their studio and tools to figure out the craft we all came to learn. So I think for not having a real instructor and being my first try, it turn out pretty good.
I figure with some practice I might actually make something that I could give as a gift. Being the cool craft store that they are, Urban Arts & Crafts refunded our class fee and we got a 15% discount on our purchases. Needless to say, it was a great afternoon.
