Craftastic Wednesday: Wooden Clocks

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Novi Public Library
iCube
Hi everyone, Our laser engraver has once again stopped working unexpectedly. Because we don't have an idea of how long it will be out of commission this time, I am cancelling this particular Craftastic activity rather than rescheduling a second time. Once the issues with the laser are resolved and we are able to finish making the components for this activity, I will add it back onto the calendar for a future date. Everyone who is currently registered or on the waitlist will be emailed with the new date so you can be prepared for registration to open. Thank you for bearing with me, and we'll see you at the next Craftastic Wednesday!
Spring forward with us by making and decorating your own clock, laser cut in the iCube!
