Resolve to Create
We recently touched base with one of our Resolve to Create participates, Elaine, who resolved to “swing hammers in the smithy” and ask her how her resolution was coming along.
“ I am just getting into the routine (interrupted by a few weeks spent out of town). When my friends ask, I tell them I'm busy making Misshapen Pieces of Junk (MPJ's). I suppose I'll get better eventually but for now it's just fun to be in there,” says Elaine. “I take craftsmanship pretty seriously, so it's unlikely I'll want to showcase any of my things just yet. However, the process is great fun.”
Join Elaine in Resolving to Create! Send us your resolution and picture to resolvetocreate@thecrucible.org and you’ll be entered into a drawing for free tuition on a Crucible class!
This month’s Resolve to Create winner is **Drum Roll Please**
