August 16, 2014 Program

August 14th and 15th, 2014 Classes and August 16th Program






We are featuring Anne Mitchell for our Program this month. 

Anne started her creative career over 25 years ago as a professional lighting designer. 

Looking for another outlet for her artistic energies,Anne began teaching chain making and metal working approximately 15 years ago for just pure enjoyment.

During those years, Anne found that the creative outlet provided by teaching as well as a consistent demand for her classes was too alluring to deny. 

Having left lighting behind in 2003, Anne is now a full-time designer, teacher, and author. 

Check out her  website here 

Classes:

There are two bracelet classes; one is scheduled for Thursday and the second one is scheduled for Friday. 
There will not be a class on Sunday after the program.
