NFB KRAFTERS DIVISION

The National Federation of the Blind Krafters Division was established in 
July 2008.  This organization began its inception from Joyce Kane's desire 
to share the love of crafting among individuals who are blind and visually 
impaired.  The K in Krafters is a tribute to our founder, Joyce Kane.  We 
meet via a conference call each Monday night at 7:30 PM Eastern.  The 
general conference chat line is 605-475-4000, participant access code 
966659.  Our Monday night chats are open to members and non-members alike. 
We discuss crafting and blindness related topics.  We offer crafting classes 
via conference call and email.  Our classes are taught by and for visually 
impaired individuals, meaning detailed verbal description is given.  If an 
individual is interested in our classes, but not sure if they would like to 
join our division, we offer one trial class of their choice for free.  Our 
yearly membership dues are $20.  By joining our division, you may take as 
many classes as you like during the membership year.  We have offered 
classes in the following categories: needle knitting, loom knitting, 
crochet, beading/ jewelry making, safety pin beading, quilting, sewing, 
basket making, kumihimo, clay, plastic canvas, felting, latch hooking, 
macram�, origami, soap making, and other miscellaneous crafts.  Presently, 
classes are managed via our website
