Notes

The class was able to focus a lot better today on getting work done, but only after I suggested that perhaps we'll have less time to work on the project in class. I'm not anxious to do that, but I am also not willing to have 6S not make the best use of the time given to them. Please come to class ready to work. The museum is a week away

Resource for Supplies:
If you are looking for cloth, mini glass vials, odd bits and ends for your diorama or hands on project visit the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse, located at 6713 San Pablo on the Berkeley/Oakland border.
