Canvas Album Class with Cari
Sunday June 28th, 10am-1pm-$65
It's an 8x8 album with 10 pages completed. We will work with paints, Glimmer Mist, Fabric embellishments, antique music paper and more...This class sold out in Buffalo with a wait list.
And I am offering it here with the limit of 8. This will be a much smaller group with lots of room to work. **There was a typo in the newsletter about the cost of the class-the cost is $65 due to all of the product included in this class. I apologize for any confusion. If you have any questions-please e-mail me personally at: pfennell@twcny.rr.com
Here is the cover of the album and I will have it at the shop this week for you to see.
