CONTEST!

WORKSHOP GIVEAWAYS!!!!!!

I'm so excited!  I have been waiting with baited breath to give some workshops away, and this is the week to do it!

CONTEST RULES:
PLEASE read.

There are no rules!!!

I will be giving away one of each class, 
to two different winners.
Winners will be chosen at random, electronically!

What would be super cool is if you could promote my workshops on your blog and FB!
Could you mention that they will be offered on Artful Gathering?  This is where I really need your help...talk it up for me, spread the word, shout it out...

    Romantic Relic Frames
starting June 6 for six weeks
 I will be available on line to answer any questions you might have along the way, as you make your beautiful frame.  You will have the opportunity to chat with other students, post your progress, display your artistic expression, all inside the workshop.  Isn't that cool?

Here is a sample of what you will learn in the Frame class.  How to start with sheet metal, and magically transform it into a beautiful treasured frame, complete with found objects and sparkly soldered rhinestones. 
There are too much fun to make, and I would love to show you how.


This is your opportunity to add the kitchen sink to your frame....almost anything may be attached.


So much fun, I added a frozen Charlotte on this frame. And you will learn a fabulous array of cold connections, soldering rhinestone chain, attaching a leg, preparing your metal, sawing with a jeweler's saw, and so much more.


This kit will be available in Etsy.  There are limited number, so only one person please, unless there are a few left over.  Please contact me if you would like more than one.


and...
 Overcoming the Fear of Fire
starting July 15 for six weeks

This class is near and dear to my heart.  I remember the first time I took a jewelry class, and they handed me a torch.  Yikes. I was so timid and intimidated by it.  This class is designed to help you understand which torch is best for your needs.

Do you need a micro butane torch? 
Mapp gas? 
A mixed gas torch? 
What can you do with them?  
How do they work? Safety issues?

All is answered here.

Do you have one of these torches sitting around you bought ages ago?
Dig it out, sign up for the class, and get ready to put it to use finally.

No need to be intimidated any more!
I'll show you some great uses for each torch, and what some can accomplish that others can't.


Oh, and did I mention MORE prizes???

Yep, more prizes inside my classrooms.
In the Fear of Fire class, you will be eligible to win this fun package, complete with a torch, stampings, and rhinestone chain.


And in the Romantic Relic Frame class....

You have the opportunity to win a large collection of treasures.
I went through the cupboard and put a ton of items together!!  
A complete de-stash party!


Registration for Artful Gathering is open NOW!  
For only a $5 registration, you get to not have to travel to learn, or buy an airline ticket and a hotel room! You get to watch the on line classes in the convenience of your own home, 
in your jammies.  That's worth a $5 registration fee for dang sure!


So leave a comment, and make sure I know how to get ahold of you.
And PLEASE promote these classes!!

The contest runs from when I hit the publish button to next Sunday, April 29, 10pm Pacific Time.

Fine print:
(winners I choose at random, will be asked to register for the workshop and pay the $5 registration fee please, all these classes eat up a lot of space on the net).
Good luck sweet friends.

Both of your classes look amazing! Sunday the 29th is my son's 17th birthday. He has been a bit of a challenge lately so I thought it would be so awesome if I won - then I would get a present for being his mother! Lol! I know your classes will be so popular because they are interesting and unlike most workshops online. Congrats! and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for myself as well!
