PAINTED QUILT ART RETREAT - So Sorry - Cancelled
Th-Su.SESSION (12 year anniversary- 13th session) - May 19- 22, 2022
2pm Thursday MAY 19 thru mid day Sunday MAY 22 2022. Classroom Access first day (Thursday)after 1pm. I've never been to another venue where the cooking staff so often gets standing ovations. Having skilled Chef Charity teach and grow the skills of Vina's staff has been a blessing to all.Rate structure changes with each annual contract issued. Due to popularity of the venue, pricing for triple occupancy becomes most cost efficient (i.e.) least costly and single occupancy most costly.

We can use technology to create your own original contour drawing from a photo you bring to class… or ..you can chose from one of my ready to go contour drawings. You’ll paint using TSUKINEKO fabric Inks and special stick applicators.

It's quilting time lest you prefer to continue painting. All your call.
