Art Retreat At The Prairie-Teaching Update

 

A Charming Reliquary

If you had plans to come to Houston this year to attend one of my very favorite teaching venues, Adorn Me, you've probably heard that it's been canceled for this year. *sad, sad face* I'm so, so disappointed about it as AM is held right in my backyard and it's such a wonderful event. I'm hoping that Linda will be able to offer it again next year but, I have a terrific alternative for you...

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be teaching, April 26-28, at Barb Solem's brand new art venue, Art Retreat at the Prairie!

Wax On

If you've never heard of The Prairie, you're in for a treat. Let me tell you a little bit about it... It's near beautiful Round Top, Texas, and owned by the incomparable, Queen of Shabby Chic, Rachel Ashwell. Rachel is famous for her gorgeous taste in interior design. I swear, she could make a rusty post look like something special. The Prairie is a dream come true for her so, you can imagine what it's like. It's the perfect venue for an art retreat and Barb has done a fabulous job of bringing it to us, here in Texas.

I'll be teaching three different classes at The Prairie...

Wax On

Back by popular demand, is my Wax On class. I had such fun teaching this one last fall...and the students loved it. I'll show you how to create your own bezel pendant, from scratch. Then we'll fill it with a surprise + wax (as if that's not surprising enough!)

A Charming Reliquary

A Charming Reliquary is one of my new classes. This is bracelet that I've wanted to teach for about five years, now, but it just never quite came together as a class, so I'm super excited to offer it here...for the first time. I'll be covering tons of cold connection technique in this class so hold onto your cowgirl hats!

Entrada

My Entrada bracelet is also a brand new class that I'm so looking forward to teaching. For this one, I'll show you how to make an amazing, large clasp with a bezel, set with a stone. It has a stylish, dramatic look and it's as much fun to make as it is to wear.

Entrada

To celebrate her inaugural event, Barb is giving away this pretty bit of sparkle...one of her own lovely designs...click here for details:

My friend and talented jewelry designer, Diane Cook will be teaching some fabulous classes, as well, so make sure you take a look, here (scroll down to see all of our class offerings.) Also, make sure you check out Barb's other events...The Beach, The Desert...for upcoming details!

Please, tell your friends and...come.

I hope to see you in class!

Oh, I so wish I lived closer - that sounds like so much fun. Your new classes sound wonderful.I loved your internet class and am sure your in person classes are a ball. I love Rachel Ashwell-miss her show and you are right - she could make a rusty post look good!!
