Possibly? Local groups tend to have particular artistic strengths: in Seattle there was an excellent tradition of medieval cooking, in southern California there was really good brewing, in Wisconsin/Minnesota we knew people who were doing fascinating things with refining metals, and in my current group there are lots of opportunities to play medieval instruments. So I can definitely promise you would learn how to make a cool thing, but it's hard for me to predict which thing would be easiest to learn, without knowing what your local group is like.
