Art of Troegs Contest

When I was teaching my Pop Top Bead Class in Portland, OR one of the students brought to my attention the "Art of Tröegs" Contest that is held each year. Being a Pennsylvania native and having the original brewery actually within a few miles from my home I thought how perfect it would be to enter some of my Tröegs Pop Top Beads. I have always loved the way the Tröegs Beer caps turned out as beads. So there was my competitive spirit showing it ugly head again. Here we are, all entered. Winners should be announced within the next few weeks. There will be a grand prize winner and a 1st, and 2nd runner up. I really enjoyed creating this Bracelet/Necklace.

New Class coming in 2020

Recently I created a new class for 2020. It is this fun Steampunk Journal Class. In this workshop students will be able to choose from several steampunk themed motifs to design the cover of their journals. Painting techniques along with color blending, journal construction, and wood tooling will be taught. Each student will leave with a large 8"X10" Journal that has the ability to be refilled. As in all of my classes, everything will be provided.
