Genre fans are often avid crafters; “fancrafting” is a term we’ve coined to describe the act of a SF/F fan creating a SF/F-themed craft! And that is what’s on our agenda in just one week’s time, on Saturday, August 15, as we return to our downtown meeting hall at the Nouvel Hotel for our August Fancrafting Workshops!

The afternoon will be dedicated to several, hands-on, how-to workshops on SF/F-themed craft projects, including the making of simple, construction-paper dinosaurs or sci-fi movie monsters, and the fashioning of genre-themed jewellery. See how it’s done, learn a new craft, and try your hand!

Also, MonSFFen are encouraged to bring in, for our display table, examples of their own fancraft, completed projects, those in progress, or both! Share your SF/F-themed creative undertakings with the group!

See you all on Saturday, August 15!

P.S.: MonSFFen will recall that the digital version of Warp 117 was released back in May, but print copies were not available at that time due to a printer-ink shortage. Update: after several months delay, we’ve finally received our back-order of printer ink, and so we expect to have a limited number of print copies of Warp 117 available at our August meeting!
