October Meeting

Octobers meeting was very interesting. Joyce gave an informative talk on Creativity and where she derives her creativity. She had lots of samples of her creative process with many of her works starting out with just a thought but ending up being works of art. I enjoyed her presentation very much and am sure others did as well.
