 2021 December Newsletter

Hello Ladies,

Don't forget to mark your calendar for the Chapter Christmas party. It will be at Maria's Mexican Restaurant on December 4th at 3pm. See the newsletter for more information. We hope to see you all there!!!

We have a number of exciting things planned for 2022. Rachael Bush, who teaches Alcohol and Ink painting for WSU Continuing Education, has agreed to teach the Chapter in February. We are really looking forward to learning this technique. Terry will be re-visiting the mudding technique taught by Linda Sharp at an earlier seminar. And we are finally going to have our Covid postponed seminar with Carol Spohn in the April. We have a number of other classes planned, so check back and see what is new, including our August seminar.
