Join the Club
Neal's hosts monthly clubs in the Muscatine and Davenport locations.  Our clubs do not
require a long-term commitment.  We encourage you to come to all the clubs you can.  It
is a great way to learn new techniques and get great ideas for new projects.  Every club
makes time for a "drag and brag" so you can bring your projects to share with the other
club members.  Even UFO's (UnFinished Objects) are welcome.  If you are stuck on how
to finish something bring it along.  We can brainstorm and devise a solution.  Below is
the list of all the clubs and an explanation of each.  Come to any or all of the clubs that
interest you.  You will have fun and learn at the same time.



Although we encourage you to come to every club, we understand that circumstances
don't cooperate.  In an effort to make projects available for those times you just can't
make it, we have come up with a solution.  If you see a club project that you couldn't
make it to and you would like the instructions from that club, for $5.00 you can e-mail
the instructor and she will make arrangements for you to pick them up.  Each project will
be available for 2 months from the time of that club.  On the side of this page where the
pictures are will be the e-mail address of each instructor.
