We also have a surprise guest wire jewelry artist coming in to demo right at 5:30 so try to get there ASAP! Club is always Free so don't miss it. On Friday at the valley a bit more sophisticated collage look wrapped on board, gorgeous! I supply it all for $20 join us.

Hope the New Year is going well! It has been pretty cold this weekend but again no real snow (4 inches or more) So its a great NEW Year so far. I did a sample for the Encaustic Class I am doing see the schedule for times. Also a reminder that the mixmedia STUdio Play is Wed at 5:30 pm $10 we will be trying out pastelschalks and charcoal. Join us for the fun just 10 bucks,don't bring a thing!

And I am working on on flyers and such for up coming classes. We are starting this week (Tuesday Jan 5th) off with our club in the valley. We are working on Altered books and I hope anyone that is interested will join us at SAS Too on Sprague. Bring a hardcover book to work in. We will be painting pages with fluid acrylics and using gesso to create texture and more. Check the ongoing classes and my schedule for all the upcoming classes. It was a bit of a surprise to me that I will be going to CHA this year. I am looking forward to it since I have not been in a while. I will be looking for new products, companies and techniques to show. I can't wait to see you all roaming the hall! My Encaustic workshop at the Downtown store on Monroe is on Sat February 13th. This is purely an encaustic class. We will be focusing on using the NEW hotcakes wax paints and beeswax with a variety of techniques including stencils and transfers.
