Learn A New Craft
Tuesday, November 17th from 2:00 until 3:00 pm

Are you interested in finding new ways to express yourself artistically without investing a lot of cash or time?
Zoom in to join LLH members Dodie Kunz, Marcia Kepecs and Betsy Hillman as they demonstrate creating fun and interesting pieces of jewelry using polymer clay. Perhaps you know this craft as Fimo clay but if you think of it as something only kids use to make ashtrays or unicorn keychains you’re missing a vast array of interesting jewelry possibilities.
Dodie, Marcia and Betsy will show you the materials you need, suggest where you can acquire them and demonstrate some simple ideas for necklaces and earrings that could make lovely holiday gifts.

CodeNames is a word game for 2 teams with 3 to 6 people on each team. A grid of 25 words will be on the screen of your computer, iPad, or smart phone. One person serves as the leader or “spymaster.” He or she gives a one-word clue to the team to identify which word(s) might be relevant to the clue. The team discusses the choices and selects the words that fit. Each game takes about 20 minutes.
