This weekend Mike Strong will be doing a classy Black and White class. Black and white is always so elegant and Mike's cards are a phenomena in themselves. You don't want to miss this class. Mike will be checking with us on Thursday to know how many have signed up so he can prepare--don't be left out. Then in the afternoon he will be showing us how to make beautiful cards with Mica Gloss, a very different type of paint. Some of you may have purchased the Mica Gloss in the shop when we first got it in, now is the time to learn how to use this product. Again, please give us a call to sign up for Mike's classes. Each one is $30 and one is 10:30-12:30 and the other is 2-4 and a fun time is had by all. These both are don't miss classes.

Kelly Kilmer is doing a class called Bloom in which she will be covering a paper journal and doing other things in the journal. Sunday, March 21, $70 12:30-4:30.

Wendy Poma regulars need to sign up for Wendy's class next Saturday, March 27. There are many openings for this class. She will be doing a Fabric Pocket Book this week.

I would like to take a moment in this blog to encourage many of you who haven't taken these teachers' classes to really try them out. Each one of these teachers has a following and are noted not just here in California but across the United States (i.e., Kelly Kilmer) and the world (i.e. Mike Strong who has taught in Holland and in other European countries). Wendy has taught at several different colleges, at Vroman's in Pasadena, and several of the museums.

These teachers have trained and their art is beyond compare. With Mike you learn so much as to how to use stamps in many different ways and his cards are always very elegant. Never will you have as much fun and do it in such a short amount of time as when you take one of Wendy Poma's book class. Books always seem so difficult but Wendy makes the time breeze by and then you go home with a book or journal. Both Wendy and Mike have such up personalities, it is like a little bit of artful heaven on earth. They are really fun and you will miss something if you don't take at least one of their classes. Then we have Kelly, she brings goo gobs of stuff puts it on the table and tells you how to go about making art and you really have fun doing it.

It is just fun to get away from the everyday and move into the art realm even if only a couple of hours.

Give us a call to sign up (310-391-0466) or email me at stampinheart@hotmail.com, we will be waiting to hear from you.
