Student Union Craft Shop Offers Free Instruction
By ALTON DAVIES
Tucked away in the basement of the Student Union lies the answer to the problem of inexpensive entertainment for University students.
Offering free instruction in jewelry making and enameling, the Hobby and Craft Shop is a place where anyone who is interested can learn to make things with his hands. Facilities are available for woodworking, metalworking, enameling leatherworking, or photography.
A regularly scheduled class in jewelry making and enameling is held every Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. There are no charges for instruction or for the use of the shop which is always open. Students pay only for the materials that they use. Most of the necessary tools are available.
Some of the silver jewelry that has been made has been sold in the Student Union Book store. Cuff links have sold for as much as $7.50. The same article would cost $15 or more in a downtown store.
The shop is furnished with such equipment as an embosograph, an electric oven, drills, lathes, rotary saws, and a mimeograph machine.
Many students have found that by making gift articles, such as cuff links, ash trays, rings, and bracelets, they can save themselves extra expense.
If enough people are interested in the classes, another can be organized. Anyone who would like more information may call Connie White, Phone 295.
