VA Bead Society classes

I had the honor of being invited to teach a weekend of fun felting classes for the Bead Society in northern VA in July of 2019, what an incredibly talented group of gals! We had our workshops in a wonderful gallery/arts center in downtown Vienna, a beautiful area just outside of Washington. They had just opened up the classroom area of the gallery that week, it was wonderful! Great lighting, nice roomy space, a kitchen with running water/microwave right off the classroom, and an inspiring display of paintings created by veterans with PTSD on puzzle-piece shaped canvases illustrating their feelings on the surrounding walls. The girls worked hard at nuno-felting gorgeous scarves and wet-felting colorful flowers, they created some beautiful art! I really enjoyed getting to know this fun group that weekend.
