Workshops in West Tennessee

Colorme Fish Workshop 4
This past Saturday I gave a workshop in a nearby city called Bartlett, at my friend Nysha's studio here in west Tennessee. The topic was fabric paints.
Painting Toolbox Workshop 3
We created a chart that showed how we modified the paints creating interesting variations. It was a class full of tips and ideas meant to inspire my students. To read more information about my workshops, on the upper right hand side of my blog.
