May is here, time to scope out the craft class offerings around southern California! Get to Home Ec in Silverlake tonight for the monthly meeting of the L.A. Modern Quilt Guild, or participate in part 1 of the two-part circle skirt sewing class that starts tomorrow! I've been wanting to take a class at Home Ec for months, and will finally get a chance to on May 21. I'm so excited to be taking their Knock it Off pattern-making class – I'll be sure to share my experience in an upcoming post! Click here to see the full Home Ec class schedule for May.
After the jump, more craft classes available this month around southern California.

Want to learn how to make preserves, but don't want to drive to Santa Monica? The Annex at The Road Less Traveled Store in Santa Ana is offering a class on that as well this month! You could up your DIY knowledge by taking their Making Ginger and Root Beer class class this weekend, or take a class on solar cooking!

(And disclaimer alert – Delilah of The Road Less Traveled store is significantly othered with OC Weekly's own Gustavo Arellano.)
