All,
The Arizona Designer Craftsmen offer a number of 2 day workshops
each year. ADC workshops get support from the city of Tucson and
the state of AZ, making the workshops very affordable. They are
open to everyone. Two are happening during the Tucson Gem and
Mineral Show. Many artists like to do workshops here when it is
freezing elsewhere and usually in the 70’s in southern AZ.
