[Nfb-krafters-korner] FRIDAYS QUESTION-What craft have you always wanted to try?

[Susan Roe]

Hi Jewel, two things.

First, I am familiar with the SPCA, the Society for the Preservation of 
Creative Anachronisms.  They are a big presence here in Virginia during the 
Celtic Festival and Highland Games.  I have also two family members who 
participated in the midevil period and the old west.  I don't think any of 
the Virginia spinners are close, but through my Webb of Hope group, they 
know of someone in the tidewater area who does spin that she has been trying 
to get lessons from.  I'm still looking for someone in the Richmond area.

I also basket weave, both reed and coil baskets.  I have also taught two 
basket weaving classes to our group.
