more information pending
Afternoon Program: Scandinavian Stars
Elaine Palmer will present the program, presenting a video of herself making the stars and providing samples of the different stages on display on tables below the stage at the guild meeting. Handouts will be available to the membership in advance of the program so everyone can print them out to follow along as Elaine makes one.
Elaine will also provide reed for 1/2 a star to each of 6-8 tables at the guild meeting and one person per table will make 1/2 a star. Then 2 tables can come together to make a whole star. Anyone who wants can take those 3 or 4 completed stars home. There won’t be enough time for each table to make 2 halves of a star and still have enough time to put them together.
