upcoming workshops

painting silk in the serti method using non-toxic, water-base dyes

I taught three classes in November 2009. Thanks to all who attended and contributed to making each class special. From our experiences together, I've adapted and improved the upcoming classes. I'm planning for a longer class time, allowing for (new addition) a spontaneous scarf, a designed scarf, and a handkerchief sample. For larger classes, I may have an assistant. And we'll hopefully have a break time to eat.

January & February dates and times - All MONDAYS...

The number in () indicates how many students have registered so far. I'm aiming for class size of 5 to 7 students, allowing more instructor assistance/coaching time for each student.

Monday, Jan 18 – 10:00am to 4:00pm
