April continues with Awesome Classes

I think Spring is finally arriving -- at least the snow has melted! The latter half of April has some amazing classes for you - lots of new classes as well as great returning classes.

Linda Landy brings us three classes aimed at bead embroidery novices and enthusiasts. You can meet Linda at an Open House too! Iris Rogers Melamed has set aside her soldering tools for a new two day class all about cold connections. Anne Marie Desaulniers will be sharing how to create small felt dolls that are ready for embellishment. Angela Peace has a new knotted pendant project perfect for your favourite stones.

We're pleased to have Rae Huggins back in the classroom to teach pearl knotting again and Jenn Jevons has an intensive ACS weekend - a perfect time to learn how to use art clay silver. Look for classes from our other instructors too!
