We are so excited to have Anne Mitchell teaching 4 classes at beadFX in September!! She will be with us on September 7, 8 and 9, 2012.
Anne started her creative career years ago as a professional lighting designer. Looking for another outlet for her artistic energies, Anne began teaching chain making and metal working for just pure enjoyment.
During those years, Anne found that the creative outlet provided by teaching, as well as a consistent demand for her classes, was too alluring to deny. Leaving lighting behind in 2003, she is now a full-time designer, teacher, and author. Her classes always sell out at the Bead&Button Show. She is one of the most dynamic teachers, always pushing the technical and artistic limits with her designs.
Anne won the prestigious Excellence in Bead Artistry Award in 2009.
