and anti-clastic raising
–June 22-26, Alan Revere, chain and hinge making, sign up quick,

-
July 20-24, Mixed media techniques for jewelry making and
metalsmithing, Diane Falkenhagen. use non-conventional materials
such as coran, resins, . Demos of mechanical cold joining
techniques.
The good news is, this is only about 400-450 for the 5 days,
INCLUDING room and board. I have never stayed on premises before,
but at the weekend courses I took, the food was fantastic. The
campus is gorgeous, and very well equipped. Their phone number is
615-597-6801. They also are offering a bead making course the same
week as Alan’s class, and of course, other offerings in clay and
glass and whatever. Check into it! anne
