You may continue to work on your bowl or bring your own project to work on independently or
join Cindy Friedman as we work on design. Bring in any and all of your orphan blocks, demo
blocks, or ones that failed to make the grade, and UFO's ready for a new shot at living. We will
pool them and then we will play with them on a design wall as a group. Feel free to contribute to
the pile even if you do not wish to stay and play.
