We hope you can start off the new year by joining us to at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum at Heritage Ranch (450 Quail Gardens Dr. Encinitas, CA, 92024; turn onto Ecke Ranch Rd. to access driveway). We meet outdoors under a covered patio, so please dress accordingly. We look forward to being with you all to find out what you’ve been up to and discuss and receive feedback on Guild activities.
Remember to renew your membership for 2026! You can download form on the Join Us page. Many thanks to those of you who have already renewed! (Those joining during Basket & Gourd Class Day or after August 30, 2025, have memberships valid through the end of 2026.)
There will be a round-table show-and-share with announcements from fellow members, and the Board will share pertinent topics from the earlier Board meeting. We encourage you to bring finished projects and/or your works-in-progress. Also, if you have a problem piece, fellow members can brainstorm ideas that may help you.
We’ll also enjoy visiting with each other during the potluck lunch prior to the mini-workshop. There is electricity for crockpots, but no kitchen facilities.
Sample of Mini-Workshop Project
Following these activities, Carol Lang will show us how to make a fun cut-paper hanging flower. Students should bring a ruler with both inches and centimeters, scissors, pencil, and a glue gun and glue sticks if they have them (some will be available to borrow). Instant glue would be helpful as well. Teacher will supply construction paper, but students are welcome to bring other decorative papers, card stock, etc. and to bring a toilet paper tube for an armature. There is small fee for the mini-workshop.
Those of you who wish to learn more about Guild business are welcome to join the Board meeting that will take place before the Noon members’ meeting at 11:00 a.m. at the Heritage Museum.
For those who cannot attend the meeting in person, an email with a Zoom option will be sent to current members the week before meeting (not an option for mini-workshop portion of meeting.)
