New classes!

Dorothy's back! Yes, that's right, Dorothy our paper arts (and other talents!) teacher is back and teaching again this winter. In November she'll be teaching Sending “Artful” Mail. Can you see better holiday letters in your future?

And December she brings us “Jeans Never Die” Art. Here's a look at some of the great little storage pockets you'll be bringing to life in this class.
