Donna Dewberry Workshop Location Announcement

Registration is now open for Donna's workshops this fall!

With the help of Diane Gardner (thanks Diane!) we found a great spot. It is just two miles from the PA turnpike, which is very accessible, has a Comfort Inn right at that exit, and has tons of restaurants and fast food choices!

Here is the workshop information:

Location:
Parkwood United Presbyterian Church
4289 Mount Royal Blvd.
Allison Park, PA 15101
(only 2 miles off of exit 38 from the PA turnpike, just north of Pittsburgh)


Events:

• Thursday, October 7th, 6-8:00 PM Crafty Wave Class*, Cost = $35
• Friday, October 8th, 9:00 - 5:00 PM, Cost=$125
• Saturday, October 9th, 9:00 - 5:00 PM, Cost=$125

* The Crafty Wave Class registration is restricted through September 7th to participants enrolled in either Friday or Saturday events. Starting September 7th, the Crafty Wave class will have open registration.

To sign up for Friday or Saturday, call Amanda at 352-394-7344. She will take your credit card information. You will not see a charge on your card until the minimum registration numbers are met. If you know you want to go, don't wait to call in! The sooner we meet that minimum the better!

Class content:
Thursday's crafty wave class topic will be announced closer to the class date. It will be one of her canvas projects. I get to pick which one, so suggestions are welcome!

Friday and Saturday will each have different projects, so you can sign up for both. They will follow a similar schedule: A canvas project in the morning will be followed with a water stroke demonstration, and the afternoon will be dedicated to a stroke study.

Stroke Study:
Last year we did a stroke study on leaves and ribbons. This year one day will be a stroke study on flowers and the other day will be something different, to be announced later. Thoughout the flower study Donna will show you how to arrange each flower she covers into a bouquet, which will be optional (you can practice-only if you prefer). I will help determine which day covers what, so if you have a strong preference for the flower study on a certain day, send me an e-mail.

That's the information I have for now! Spread the word!

This weekend's classes

Hi everyone! I just have to post these pictures from the classes this weekend. Everyone did such a great job and I am so proud of them!

This was Saturday's bunny basket class. You can buy this kit on www.craftywave.com

And this is the Tuscan canvas class on Sunday:

I'll be posting my April class schedule soon. Now that basketball season is over and Boy Scouts are almost done, I'll be offering a few classes a month in my home again.

March Classes You Can't Miss

Easter Bunny Baskets class
Your own Crafty Wave kit is included (you will get your surface and a project instruction packet) and I provide the paint. Don't have brushes? Don't worry! I have loaners! This is such a cute project, you won't want to miss it!

Tuscan Canvas & Teacher Training Series part 2
Paint this elegant tuscan still life on a 16" x 20" canvas! This project comes straight from Donna's January education summit!

I am also continuing with the teacher training series. You do not need to be a certified teacher to attend. If you missed the first class, no worries! This class will focus primarily on class structure and class time management. Do you always run over your scheduled class time? Then this is one topic you need to hear!

Are you interested in just learning the convas project and not interested in teaching? I'd still love to have you! You can take the class for a $10 discount, knowing you will not get any of the teaching content hand-outs and you can leave early (the practice exercises will be during the last hour of class).
