Learn how to sculpt a base form using a special needle and loose wool roving. Then embellish your shape with fancy details that will bring your miniature gourd to life.

Writing Better Presentations: Thursday, Nov. 21, 5:30-7 pm. Great presentations require many of the principles behind great writing. It’s not just about getting the idea across; it’s about finding the most compelling way to do it. This seminar is for anyone who struggles with their presentations—getting complicated ideas across, finding the balance between information and interactivity and engaging an audience. It’s also for anyone who’s been read mind-numbing slide after slide and vowed that they’d never do that to someone else. Registration required. Registration opens 4 weeks in advance.
