Interested in taking a class with me? I'm really excited to be teaching in Texas a few times next year. Shady Ladies Altered Art Retreat is a new event, hosted by Jeri Aaron. It will be held in the charming town of Salado, Texas which promises to be a wonderful, intimate setting. Salado is known as "the best art town in Texas" and downtown features shops filled with antiques, crafts and galleries. I hear it's a really fun place. The retreat will be held April 24-25, 2010.
I'll be teaching two classes. My Wrapped in Silk Bangle Bracelet class is Saturday, April 24, 2010.
My Winged Things class is set for Sunday, April 25, 2010. For a few more photos of my projects, click here. For the Shady Ladies site, click here. There will be a lot of fun things going on at the retreat including raffles, mini projects, giveaways, a catered bar-b-que and a vendor event. Of course, there's a fabulous list classes and instructors including Lisa Renner, Sharon Tomlinson and Angie Platten. Click here to see class descriptions and instructors. Registration has begun. I'd love to see you there!






I have really missed looking at your jewelry...I've been gone for so long. Nice, beautiful work!

Congrats on the new teaching venue. You are out teaching more and more..and I have faith that one day you'll come our direction (East Coast). Your classes look so incredible...especially the new wrapped silk bangle - that is just gorgeous!

These look so luscious! You know I would love to take a workshop with you - if only that "puddle" between the continents wasn't so big!!

What fun! I love your work and your blog! Wish I lived close enough to take a workshop with you.

I would so love to be there...if only TX weren't a whole country away from WI! I know that it would be great. Someday I will take a class that you teach. Any chance that you will be coming to the Bead & Button show in Milwaukee in June? I will be there, and if I knew that you would be teaching there, that is the first class I would sign up for! Enjoy the day! Erin

wow! Using wire I made something very similar to this, , well, nothing so goo and nice like this but basically is the same thing, wrapped wire with wings coming out and and thinner wire with beads around, this make me feel so ashamed of what I do!!! congrats to you!
