Spring is almost here! I, for one, cannot wait. I've been using lots of spring colors in my beadwork lately. What about you?

This is a workshop offered by artists on the 4th floor at the Western Avenue Studios. Contact them if you are interested!
"Join Samantha & Barbara for an intro to glass fusing workshop. Students will be designing their own fused glass pendants. Barbara and Samantha will be providing the instruction, glass and firing. Pendants will be ready to pick up on Saturday 4/4/09 during Open Studio hours 12-5. Sign up now for the upcoming session on March 27th 6pm-7:15pm.
Sign up is on a first come/pay, first serve basis. Those who send in their workshop fee of $20 per person (per 4" tile) will be in the first session 6pm-7:15pm. Any overflow registrations will be in session 2 the same evening. We will only hold session 2 if session 1 is full."
