**NEW**
Virtual Classes have arrived!
I will be teaching all classes virtually now and that means that you don’t have to live locally to join! No matter where you are in the world, as long as you have an internet connection, you can join me and others for a virtual class!
All virtual classes will be taught over Zoom and they will be interactive. You will receive a supply list so that you can have everything you will need ready to go for the class. We will then go live together and make something beautiful. You will be able to see all participants (and of course me) during the class and we can all chat while our hands are busy creating. This is going to be so much fun!
If you would like to be informed when new classes or additional dates are added, you can sign up for the Workshop and Classes email here…
