Class Openings at Women's Studio Workshop

The Women's Studio Workshop still has a few spots available in some of their Summer Arts Institute papermaking workshops this summer. These classes are week-long intensives designed to give students in-depth training in papermaking techniques, regardless of your experience level.

Class size is limited to just 6 students, so even more seasoned papermakers can benefit from this opportunity to expand and build upon an artistic skill set with individual attention from their expert teachers.

Annual Meeting Information Available Online

Shannon Brock, Vice President of Publicity and Outreach for the Friends of Dard Hunter sent along a note to let everyone know that our annual conference is fast approaching. "We are thrilled to announce that the 2009 Friends of Dard Hunter Conference Information is now launched on our website."

Remember to refresh your screen on each page to receive the most recent information. All of the forms are downloadable PDF files, AND they are interactive. You may complete them in Adobe Acrobat and submit them directly online if you so desire. The one challenge is that when you complete your registration form and submit it online to our treasurer, Cecile Webster, you MUST remember your total. Then, click on the Buy Now button on the Annual Meeting page to pay with your credit card via PayPal. It is a single field that will ask you for the total amount. Not exactly seamless, but we're still learning.

The one piece of information that is yet to be posted is the Member's Exhibition. We are finalizing the information and I hope to have it posted by next weekend.

If you have never attended one of our conferences this would be a good place to start! Hope to meet many of you in Atlanta!

Happy Papermaking!
