Just a suggestion.

So, shall I hop a plane and come stay at the DeeDee B&B in April? :) the show sounds like a blast!!!

I go to Sisters and take classes every year as well as other big venues. There are some national instructors who are great artists but can't teach for beans and then there are some "sleepers' who really give you your money's worth.

The problem with most classes is that you end up with lots of unfinished projects and hopefully you can remember or figure out how to complete them.

I like to take classes where I learn a new technique or skill that I can apply in other projects. I rarely take classes to learn a particular pattern since I can figure that out on my own
