US Father's day coming up
With Mother's day long gone, it's time to think of new ideas for Father's day. This month, running from Mid May until June 15th, JL's Expressions monthly theme is "For Him".
We have a new format for Expressions too: as an encouragement for students to learn a new technique, all participants now must post their pieces based on a JL tutorial.
Read the instructions to the new theme of the month here:
