Dichroic Glass workshop (2)

Hi Everyone, A good time was had by all at the second Dichroic Glass workshop on July 25th. I was unable to attend but when I returned in the afternoon & I saw all the lovely pieces the ladies had made I was extremely envious. I will definately be doing the third workshop! October 25th is the date for the next workshop for beginners & Robyn thinks she will do the next advanced course in November sometime. I will advise Kym of the date soon. The Bluecare Respite Centre is as always a great place to have workshops & the next workshop will be there also. Please email me if you would like to do the class. I have nearly a full list for workshop 3 but lots of people dropped out of the last one & if anyone drops out of this one there will be places available. Email me on instyleshoes@bigpond.com if you would like to give it a go. I hope you're well, Happy Creating, Olley.

Olley very happy with the workshop :)

Hi Everyone,

It's time for me to start organising the next Dichroic Glass workshop.

Below is a list of requirements & information including the cost for the day.

I need to know fairly quickly if you are still interested & if the date suits. If the date is no good there is another workshop booked for October 25th (Sunday).

Can you please let me know by May 21st by return email or phoning me on 4992 5277/4992 5770 if you are no longer interested or if you would like to change to the October workshop.

I have a waiting list of 12 other ladies & will need plenty of time to do some shuffling if need be.

Payment of the deposit will ensure your place for this round & I look forward to hearing from you soon, Olley.
