At one time, I wanted to find a combined craft center that would do what my college student workshop and military base USO center provided: a set of tools that I couldn't afford, a place to work, and a place to find people with similar interests who would help. Recently, I was shaken out of that search by the discovery of a single purpose group that had very high quality equipment that was available at low cost. So I began to look for similar operations in other crafts. The goal of this page is mostly to connect with sites that can fill a need that costs a lot for an individual to fill. Thus the kiln needed for pottery is expensive while a bead maker may not need such a costly accessory. If you know of a group with specialty resources, please e-mail me a link or other information to make contact. |
