ART CLUB

Watercolor Club

The Watercolor Club is a group of painters who have been meeting on a regular basis, sharing ideas, techniques and resources.  While our primary purpose is to paint; it is important that the group retain its friendly, positive, encouraging atmosphere.  The group plans to have occasional one day workshops, and would welcome artists who would be willing to teach.  The Watercolor Club meets every Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 pm in the Craft Room.  For information on this club please talk to the co-coordinators  Sandy Baceda and Bea Crawford.

**The Watercolor Club is a continuation from the Fall 2011 program - Club is full**

Knitters Koffee Klub

Calling all knitters, crochet, crafters… We would like to invite you to meet with us on a weekly basis for a social get together.  Bring your own work projects to work on and ideas to be shared.  Our klub will meet every Wednesday in the Craft Room from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm starting on January 11.  For more information please see David at the Front Desk or talk to the co-coordinators Jo-Ann Adams and Anette Vogl.

Quilters Group

Are you interested in getting together with other quilters one day a week?  You would need to have basic quilting skills as this is not a class.  This would be a group that would show and share while having someone to talk to with similar interests.  You wouldn’t need a machine   every week.  We will work on our own projects and maybe we could do some charity quilts.  Our group will meet every Wednesday in the Southview Meeting Room from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm starting January 18.  For more information please see David at the Front Desk or talk to the   coordinator Marilyn Martens.

New to You Greeting Cards

If you can cut along the lines you're hired!  The “New To You Greeting Cards” is a new craft group forming and invites all members to participate.  The group will use parts of used greeting cards which will be recycled onto new cardstock and envelopes and sold in our “Craft Boutique”.  This program will start on Thursday, January 12 at 10:00 am in the Small Craft Room.  If you are interested or would like more information please see David at the Front Desk or talk to Pat Kincade.  This project should be fun and interesting as well as profitable for Nord-Bridge.
