Ashley,
 
First to answer your question.  We encourage everyone to take a "Try  It 
Class".  Your choice of what class you want to take.  Then if you  want to 
take more classes we ask that you become a paid member of the  division.  
Membership is July to July or any part of that time and it is  $10 which we have 
a PayPal link on our website for folks to use or you can mail  it in.  There 
is a place on the website that goes to our treasurer or email  me for 
Cindy's mailing address.  
 
You can take as many classes as you want.  Last year we offered 62  classes 
from Jan. 2013 until Dec. 2013.  So it is worth $10.
 
You only need to pay for your supplies which are listed for each class and  
if the phone call is long distance you need to cover that.  We do have  
folks that use SKYPE and our email classes are set up as separate lists with  
just the students and teacher on the list.
 
If you have more questions we will try to answer them all for you.

Jill,
thanks. are classes free?
I'd definitely want something  simple to begin with and something that 
isn't 
so time consuming; I just  lose interest with projects that take forever 
and 
only look half  done.

glad to see you all have a website.

Ashley,
Nice to have you with us.  I understand  not having hours to devote to a
project.  I am a full time mother of  3.  I used to work but decided to be 
at
home with my children for a  while.  Anyway, I am sure you will find
something that interests you  here among our group.  Check out our  website
www.krafterskorner.org
to see what new classes will be starting  soon.  Maybe one of the classes on
there will spark your  interest.  Glad to have you on the list!
Jill

Hi all,

My name Is Ashley and I am not new to nfb,  but new to the list.
I am a young adult who is job exploring and willing to  take most entry 
level
job I am qualified for although my interests lie in  communications, event
coordination, and outreach but I'm fine being a  clerical assistant for now.

My interests include reading, writing,  bible study, card games, and 
bowling.
I also enjoy working out. I'm looking  for a craft to try and thought I'd
join this list for a bit to gain  ideas.

I have had some craft exposure through public school and various  camps, for
the blind or not.
I had to stitch a small pillow together  while at some girl baptist camp. 
I'm
not baptist, but went because they  were encouraging vision impaired people
to come and they would provide  guides.
I've also worked with a small loom to make a hat at our state  center. I've
worked with clay making various things but mainly I made pinch  bowls and
painted them after they were fired.
At school we did a little  work with beads and weaving.

I am considering taking a class at a  community center in beading, other
jewelry making, knitting or  pottery.
I could not do pottery at home though as we do not have a kilm. So  maybe
jewelry or weaving or knitting would be more realistic.

I want  to find a new hobby. I'm not sure I have the patience for the 
tedious
task  ofknitting or crocheting. but worth trying it.
Crafts often take  concentration and time. While I am willing to devote some
time, I do not  have hours to do something, and I think it takes hours to
knit or  crochet.

Anyway, that  is some about me and I have lots of  questions.

Ashley
