You will also have to decide if your club is going to present craft technique demonstrations and who the instructor will be. It might be fun to have members take turns hosting the meeting and demonstrating a craft of their choice. It might even be possible to invite guest speakers to your meetings! A variety of demonstrations will give everyone a chance to improve their skills.Another club option is to have your members work on their craft projects and have the meeting focus more on socialization rather than instruction. You as the club founder and manager have to decide which path you want your group to take. The types of crafts and focus of the meetings may change with time, as members come and go. You might also want to consider if this club will allow children or if it is an adults only club. Here in the United States, there is a major craft store chain called JoAnn’s. They offer free space for crafters to meet as a community service. If your club chooses to attend at JoAnn’s, make sure you appreciate their generosity by purchasing your craft supplies at their store. Each member could also take a turn hosting at their home. These types of meetings would work well if the club is small and the members know each other quite well. Almost everyone is on Facebook these days, and it is easy to set up group pages. These pages are also a free service and an excellent way for members of your club to communicate with one another and keep track of club announcements.Members can post project pictures, offer tips and suggestions to other members.
