What's Up in August.....

This may be a quiet week, but the upcoming months are not. I just posted a bunch of bead stitching classes with Cindy Vroom. Cindy has been avidly beading for somewhere around 10 years now. Beads and beading are a fascination and a compulsion for her as both her impressive bead stash and portfolio of finished works can attest. She is happiest when her hands are busy and can think of no better activity than beading to fulfill this need. She also plays with clay between beading and making her living as a set painter/house painter.

Beginning Thursday September 10th, Cindy will be offering a 4 week course, Basic Bead Stitching 101 Continued. This is a continuation of the Basic Bead Stitching courses offered earlier this year. Students can register for these classes one at a time (class fee is $30.00/per class) or take all 4 for the discounted price of $100.00.



If you would rather take the original Basic Bead Stitching course it is available beginning Thursday November 19th. This class also runs for 4 weeks and the same discount is available.



Looking for something a little sooner? Well, August looks great. We end of July with Catherine Winter's How To Have a Successful Craft Show, from 6-9:15pm.
