Hot off the presses! John and I have made some decisions about the workshops that we want to teach in our studio. As many of you know, we made a big move last year and our current studio is much smaller than what we had in Huntsville. So we have decided to teach almost a workshop per month for the rest of the year, but these workshops will be only 2 students for 3 days. They will be more intimate, but not less difficult! All of the pieces will still be of considerable size....usually about 18 to 20 inches x 9 to 11 inches or a 14" plate .....plus all of our techniques will be included as usual. They remain intermediate to advanced classes, and students need to have had previous fusing classes and experience.
The subjects of our work have largely been landscapes, flowers, and birds, and that will be the subject for these new Fabulous Mini-Workshops.
April 16. 17 and 18, 10 am - 5:30 pm
(Filled, but call to be added to a waiting list if desired.)

Winter Landscape to Chill By....over Labor Day Weekend!
$ 725 for everything except lunch
It is getting time to start thinking about winter again, and we do a lovely winter landscape. How do you make dimensional trees? Pull branches? Layer snow? Shade with frit? Layer the background for a watercolor look? Well, we can tell you! In 3 days we will teach you all you need to know to make your own. In fact, you can probably turn around and sell your piece for most of what you paid for class. :) Come prepared to work hard and have fun!
Of course these workshops will fill quickly, and in order to be fair, we take the first deposits that we receive as reservations. Deposits are half of the class fee. If you cannot make the class, and we have a waiting list and fill your spot, we will return your money. Otherwise, the deposit may be applied to another workshop if space is available but not refunded.
The pictures here are examples only of previous classes. Not to worry, you will LOVE whatever we do, and you will be happily exhausted at the end of the day....PROMISE! :)
