It's been a busy few months at CAA. Please enjoy this gallery of photos from our recent events. Zabardust Henna demonstrated the art of henna tattoo at our January General Meeting. The Maker's Mini Expo in February was small but fun. The February General Meeting featured "painting" with denim. The Macrame Gnome class was a great success.
