On Monday, Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. in the Idea Studio, get badged on our Carvey CNC router and choose one of four pre-made designs to carve out a napkin holder. 

During “Let’s Make – Napkin Holders,” participants will be able to make one napkin holder of their choosing. Materials will be provided for this class. Register online at calendar.fdlpl.org
