All new list members are encouraged to take a "Try It Class" without any  
obligations.  Then we ask folks if they want to take more classes that they  
pay $10 membership which runs from July to July or any part of that.  You  
can pay thru our PayPal  link on our website or send a check to our  
treasurer.

All our classes are free to our paid members.  You can take as many  
classes as you wanbt in your membership time.

Hi,
I  would be interested in the directions for the mini wallet if anyone  
would
be willing to send them to me? Or, do I need to be a member before I  can
receive them?
Also, could someone give me info on whether or not it  is indeed possible to
take a first class for free before becoming a paying  member?
Thanks so much, and I appreciate the warm welcome!

In  Christ, Miranda

Welcome, Meranda!  This is the  place to get lots of ideas.  Just follow the
list for a while, and you  will have so many ideas you will hardly know 
where
to start, but you will  also have people to ask on or off list.  Wendy is
doing a great job  with some origami projects by email.  That doesn't take a
lot of  equipment, and she seems to be able to describe the steps to take
very  well.  I think somebody could tell you how to get the directions  for
the first projects which was done last month.  It was making a  miniwallet
out of one piece of 8.5 by 11 inch paper.

New people are  coming along all the time, so don't be overwhelmed by those
who are  advanced in a given craft.  Just try something and enjoy it. The  
Web
Site description will tell you what classes are for beginners.  If  you have
not yet joined the group, you can also do that on the Web  Site
www.krafterskorner.org.
