  2. We meet once a month.

     

    Yeah after looking at your pics, I am sorry you missed our January meeting. Our demonstrator showed us some of what he had been working on from Charles Lewton-Brain's book - Foldforming. He demonstrated some of the techniques. Very similar to what you have in your pics.

     

    If you are interested in joining, email us at cvbgboard[at]gmail[dot]com

    Include your mailing address because I am finishing up our first newsletter for the year. I will be happy to mail you an introductory copy.
