50 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2019 Although February is the shortest month of the year, so much activity was afoot in the Arts & Crafts Room last month. As construction was finally completed and our first ceramics class was held for 2019, it was a full house. Everyone was happy to be back in class and looking forward to creating their first pieces for the year, with quite a few folks working on projects to prepare for the upcoming craft show. Ceramics class has something for the novice crafter looking for a new hobby, or someone that has experience and wants to create their own unique design, or create pieces for friends and family. In addition to individual projects, we also offer class projects throughout the year to teach new techniques. Come and join in the fun. Drop by the Arts & Crafts Room to see our monthly ceramics class schedule and learn more about our upcoming class projects. We meet Wednesdays from 12 to 4 pm and the first Saturday of each month from 9 am to 1 pm. Please see class schedule for any exceptions. A certified instructor and/or an experienced class team lead is available to support your crafting needs; participation is at your own pace and frequency. Info., Bob Powers, (909) 841- 3293, Elsie Fillman, (661) 414-6270. ~ Pepsi Powers Ceramics Corner Craft Group The Craft Group is back in the newly remodeled Arts & Crafts Room. Our first project for the year was a dainty bracelet, pictured right. This was a first attempt at jewelry for most of the women and everyone had a piece to be proud of when they left the class. The next few weeks will be spent making a lovely wreath, also pictured right, from soda cans. We meet on Thursday mornings, 10 am to 12 pm, in the Arts & Crafts Room. Stop in and see what we have planned for the future. If you would like to attend a class, please call Barbara Paules at (951) 845-3608 for a list of supplies you may need to bring or for any costs involved for materials. ~ Barbara Paules The Crafty Cardmakers meet on the second and fourth Friday at 1 pm in the Arts & Crafts Room. We get together and make three cards, and the cost is $8 to cover materials. You only need to bring your own glue and scissors. If you haven't tried our classes, please think about joining us for a fun-filled afternoon. It is important to R.S.V.P. so we will be sure to have enough kits for everyone. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. ~ Maryalice Chorba, chorbaparadise@yahoo.com Crafty Cardmakers Knit & Crochet Group We are back into our quarters in the Arts & Crafts Room as of February. We have selected a community service project for the first part of the year. We will be making baby blankets for a women's shelter located in Cherry Valley. The exact location is unknown to keep the privacy of the residents. Blankets were their first and most needed items. We will make and collect these until about June or July when they will be turned into the spokesperson for the shelter. We are still meeting each Tuesday morning from 10 to 11:30 am. We welcome all new members to the group. We will teach those that would like to learn a new hobby and have supplies to furnish to the newcomer, if desired. Come join us. ~ Dorothy Payne, dpayne001@dc.rr.com Members enjoy the expanded class space… and the new paint cabinets! A dainty bracelet A lovely wreath made from soda cans
