Seattle Free School
Last Saturday we had the debut of Seattle Free School Classes at the Giving Tree.
First class was a basket making class where we took 7 paper grocery bags and wove them into a nice garden basket.
It was a very fun day. We painted some baskets with waste paint from the Shop - This stuff was too gummy to do a toy any good.

shop talk minutes
Shop Talk
April 8, 2008
Present:
Wally Druscilla Drew Harbhag
John W. Clare Geni Karl
We have a new volunteer, Robert, who has joined the group. He is particularly interested in detail work on the toys.
Greenfestival
Is on for this coming Sunday, 1pm. We will present one hour on meaningful work, and attempt to discover new ways of marketing opportunities we offer as a community of artists. Clare will be doing plastic crochet.
Volunteer Dinner
Will be on the 22nd of this month. Be sure to bring a dark colored t-shirt or bag, or whatever you have that can be laid flat for silk screening the Giving Tree logo on to. A professional is coming and bringing all of his equipment to complete the process. So even if you want your umbrella silk screened with the Giving Tree logo, it can be done. Appetizers will be served before the dinner at the Giving Tree. There’ll be a test run on the 19th.
Seattle Free School Dally
Clare has contacted the Seattle Free School Dally that offers craft classes in a variety of subjects, and offered the Giving Tree as a possible classroom for their efforts.
They have indicated that they are very interested and want to come to see the space. This in itself could bring in more awareness of the Giving Tree and therefore more customers who seem to like looking in the window to watch people work on the toys and question them about the process.
Bookends Order
The customer has given his credit card number, which has been submitted to accounting. This will start the process. Now we can proceed to buying the wood and creating the blanks for sanding and finishing.
New Business Cards
New business cards were passed around for everyone to see. It has a photo of the Giving Tree ferry on it and was morphed by Ed Zuber. John remarked it could make a nice looking gift card for the shop.
