Upcoming Events
Summer is always a busy time for Art of the Firebird! The big news is that I’ll be away at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in Young Harris, GA, from August 2 until August 8. I’m going to be taking Kim St. Jean’s “Cold Connections” class, learning all sorts of wonderful new things to do with my lampwork. I’ll be with my friend Dee, who will be taking the chainmaille class, and I promise to take and post lots of pictures for you!
Our next show will be the Atlanta Bead Extravaganza in Norcross on September 17-19, 2009. This is Down the Street’s BIG bead show of the year in Atlanta, with more vendors, more time, and more STUFF than the two-day shows. Four Tails Lampwork and I look forward to seeing you there!
