A SPECIAL EVENT
THE CRAFT ROOM
THU – SAT
55-minute sessions
So many of today’s cozy mysteries involve a craft such as scrapbooking, knitting, candle-making, etc. Register for a session in the craft room (Vision Room, 3rd floor) as authors demonstrate their craft and introduce themselves and their books. You’ll have hands-on experience making your own craft, too!
This idea comes from author Joanna Campbell Slan, author of a scrapbooking mystery series.
