More January classes = More learning opportunities!

Once the Holidays are done, we'll all be able to get back into our normal routines (we just can't eat fruitcake and drink eggnog all year)! Classes are part of that routine.

Remember - you'll be able to meet several of our instructors and see for yourself the vast array of techniques and projects being offered. Come on out on to our Meet the Teachers event on Saturday, January 11; the full schedule is on our website. Just click on the 'Class' link and follow it through to the January schedule. As a special treat, if you come to the event on January 11 and sign-up for a class, you'll be in the running for a $25 gift certificate! Sign-up for two classes - you get two ballots, and so on!

In January, we welcome mixed-media artist Anne Marie Desaulniers as a new instructor! We have several NEW projects too.
