Happy New Year!!!

We have so many exciting things planned this year. Carol Spohn is coming in April. Please look at her website https://www.carolspohn.com/instructional-packets.html to see what fun things she can do !!!!

We have a number of other exciting things planned for 2022. We will have a watercolor class in January. 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 will be doing eggs for Easter. We have other fun classes for the rest of the year including a fall seminar. So check back each month to see what is going on.

Stay safe!!! We look forward to seeing all of you this new year.
