Studio – Works in Progress (week 1)
10th December 2009

 

Foil Prep

In addition to beginner classes – the Blackberry Patch provides the opportunity for individuals after they’ve completed the classes to use our facility for studio time.  Two very accomplished ladies (Lesa & Lois) from Springfield VT have been taking advantage of this opportunity to create some wonderful pieces.  In the next few weeks, we will be highlighting their work from  layout to completion…
