Cold winter months are perfect for crafting, whether you’re getting around to a pattern you’ve wanted to try, finishing a big project, or learning a new skill.

No matter what your plans are, be sure to check out what our favorite authors are up to in the coming months! They will be traveling all around the country to lecture, teach workshops, and meet with fans, and they may be coming to a place near you.

So come learn to make metal jewelry, give mixed media collage a try, or get great knitting and crochet tips from some of the most innovative designers around. For more information on these events, be sure to check the link.
