Our Acorn to Oak Handmade Team is so excited and refreshed from Christmas. The new year looks great! We have a lot of exciting new guest speakers and local organizations to introduce you to for the coming year. Given all the local talent and great resources, we are moving to weekly Tuesday night meetings. Thank you so much for making this possible. There are so many great artists in the area, thanks for donating your time and resources. This would not have been possible without each one of you. We will be posting up the events as follows each month. We hope to have you come to have you drop by. Here's a little of what we have in store for Jan

You've probably met Sallye at Techshop already as she also teaches Shopbot at Techshop RDU. She's a great person and we're really lucky to have her let us into her studio for the evening.
