2020 Mixed Media Classes are almost fully booked

Quick update on 2020 classes that are still available for registration:

May 2-3, 2020
There is just 1 opening available. This class is at my friend Kat Kirby's studio and I am limiting enrollment to keep the size small. I've heard lovely things about Prescott and can't wait to visit. 

Artwalk Italy in, well, ITALY!!!!!
September 13-23, 2020
There are only 3 spots left. Bucket-list Italy; I talked with Jeannette & Suzy (our travel mavens) about the places I hadn't been, my A-list destinations. You see, they live in Italy and they know this country like nobody's business. They put together the trip of a lifetime. 
Seriously. 
I'll be frank, I was nervous when I traveled with them the first time because I had never done a tour before and was afraid it would be too tour-like, you know what I mean?? But they are absolutely the best of the best and provide an insider's experience is truly special. 
Plus you get to make art with me and 11 other like-minded peeps. 
And it's Italy, people!!!
Swoon.

Spontaneous Intent in Paducah, KY
October 23-25, 2020
This workshop opened just a few days ago and is half sold out which is kinda blowing my mind. It's going to be fun; you know how much I love Kristin (owner of Ephemera Paducah), her sweet shop and interesting town. Lovelovelove.

At the Improv - with Seth Apter in Albuquerque, NM
November 13-15, 2020
Details are coming soon, if you are interested, post a comment along with your email and I will make sure you are added to the list. 

......and that's it. Everything else is sold out and I simply don't have the capacity to add more due to family issues and the wild growth of SGP (a good thing). You can still find me online of course, at our ever-popular StencilGirl Studio or teaching for Wanderlust in 2020, where signup also gets you a freebie bonus class from me over at the StencilGirl Studio, so it's quite a good deal. 

I hope to see you either in person or online!!!
