Oct. 18th, 2005 12:29 amgreetings...I have a few craft..related questions.
I'm trying to start a crafting club at my college. I need to have ideas before I go to the office and make a proposal of sorts. So far my ideas are...
*have a 'free box' which has crafting supplies that group members can take and are welcome to add to
*members can bring their own supplies, work on whatever they want to and have a comfy environment with other crafty people
*every week or every X amount of weeks there will be a demo, myself or someone else in the group, showing how to do a certain craft or an added skill to a craft they already know....sharing craft education
*creating pieces for projects or organizations (i.e. - making knit/crochet blocks to be sewn together into afghans for the Warm America project, knit scarves for needy children, etc)
*make pieces and sell them at different venues to earn money - money will be donations to groups (such as groups working to get art programs in elementary schools)
What I'm interested in is other ideas that I can have the group do. Does anyone know of any organizations ...arty groups...places that would like donated blankets, scarves, hats, etc (all handmade) or groups such as ones trying to get elementary art classes?
I'm looking for all kinds of suggestions, including crafts that can be done as a group but aren't too pricey or too...young...
Thanks!
