The cap on these workshops is 50, and to date they are now all over 60% full! Only 17 more days to go!  To register, go to this LINK.

This foray into the wild and crazy crafters world should be a ton of fun, so much pretty, and so much inspiration!  As a primarily abstract painter, I find the process of creating workshops that have a very specific focus is a terrific way to bring a bit more discipline to my usually very loose style.  I appreciate the blend of these two not-so-different art worlds.
