They will cover the basics of bagging systems, bags, glues, and applications and share some of their experiences, thoughts, and reasons for using their systems They are also interested in other member’s experiences or expertise on this topic, either in the form of discussion at the meeting or as follows:

MEMBER PARTICIPATION: They welcome one or two photographs per member with short captions of bagging set-ups and/or completed pieces that required either internal or external forms, with shapes varying from simple to complex.

NOTE: This is not a “Show and Tell” format meeting. Given time constraints, any photographs and captions submitted will be presented by one of the three presenters, with credit given to the maker.
