This class was requested by a great group of ladies from La Mesa, Ca. If you are in the Sandiego Area and
would like to join us for a great gourd day, call me for directions and registration info. You will not only learn
how to woodburn animal fur, but also the acrylic techniques used above. Just bring your woodburner with
your favorite blade tip and your 6a or rounded tip pen. All other materials are included in this class.

There are limited spots, but this is going to be a great location for a class and would highly recommend it!
