We'll be celebrating out 10th anniversary in July!
We started small, with big dreams. Our original mailing list of 400 people now has more than 12,000. At first we offered a dozen classes. Now we offer 300. You're part of our success. And we're thankful for you participation in what has become an energetic and ever growing community, a destination for people from all over, people who are drawn to intriguing workshops, cutting-edge exhibitions and a gathering place for meeting fellow travelers in this lively art form.

There are a wealth of activities surrounding our 10th anniversary. For a hands-on celebration, drop in August 2nd and 3rd for Ten Books in Two Days. And on July 28th, please join us for the opening reception of X Libris, our 10th Annivesary Exhibition.
