Have you ever been interested in exploring the crafts of history? Or love to dabble in the modern crafts? We have strived to learn about these crafts as well as to teach them. From weaving, pottery, knitting, and crochet, to leather work and metal smithing. We have a talented group of artists who love to work in these areas and share their knowledge with others. If you are interested, please join us at one of our meetings. We meet twice a month in Mascoutah, Illinois. See details below, and please come visit!
