Join the Facebook group to get advance notice of events and a short list of supplies required. Then, every two weeks, Jana will be live on Facebook and The Globe and Mail website learning a new hobby from an expert. Topics we’ve tackled so far include embroidery, collage, making soap and paper flowers.

If you try any of our Craft Club projects, we would love to see what you made. Tag us on Instagram (@globeandmail) or Twitter (@globeandmail) and use the hashtag #GlobeCraftClub.
