What's in Your Collection

Are you a collector? Want to brag about your collection? Or maybe you just want to see what other people find so fascinating. If so, join us as we explore the weird and wonderful world of the collector! Attendees will be contacted prior to the class and asked if they would like to share a few photos (or the live(ish) items) from their collection and say a few words about it (like how many they have, why they collect it, and what got them started, all in about 2-5 minutes each). If you'd rather just listen, that's okay too.
