The Self Taught Artist vs. the Schooled Artist. In this panel artists will talk about how they got started in art. Did they get their inspiration from a family member, or another artist? Did they go to a formal school, and if so was the experience helpful or not? Where do they get their inspirations? How did they get people interested in their art?

Making Dreamcatchers. Evil is taking the time out of her schedule this weekend to teach a hour class on how to make dream catchers. While we are not in a place where we can cut our own branches, bless them and begin from scratch, we can make traditional dream catchers with a little bit of effort. It's knot difficult, it's fun and you'll have something to take with you when you leave. Come and learn the legend of the dreamcatcher and learn how to make one for yourself or someone you love.
