Without further ado, Jeanette and I are thrilled to announce ArtBLISS 2011!

Back by popular demand, ArtBLISS 2011 is going to be better than ever!  With an additional day of classes, a fantastic venue, and an extraordinary line up of Instructors, you won’t want to miss the 2nd annual event this September!  ArtBLISS 2011 will take place from September 23rd through the 25th in the Washington, DC area.

Would you like to learn a brand new skill to add to your “tool box”, or maybe brush up on a skill you learned in the past?  How about the chance to get away with your art/blog friends, or the opportunity to meet new like-minded souls?  Are you looking for inspiration or a fresh perspective?  Our fabulous returning instructors will be joined by instructors teaching at ArtBLISS for the first time.  Just wait til you see their line up of classes!  Many of the classes will be offered for the first time at ArtBLISS 2011…..both full day and evening classes. Resin, etching, soldering, encaustics, photography, clay, faux-bone, metal, wirework, fibers, bezels……our fine Instructors will be teaching these techniques and mediums – and more!

Join us in September for classes with these nationally-known artists and authors:

Kerry Bogert

Diane Cook

Christine Damm

Robert Dancik

Deryn Mentock

Jane Salley

Richard Salley

Here are just a few of the great workshops we will be offering this year.  Watch for highlights coming soon, featuring the individual Instructors and their workshops.

Waaah!! Wish I could join in.. I am a little far away! ( Australia) I love that stunning tassle; just noticed it had a THIMBLE top- ‘squeak’-how totally adorable! And I would love to do the photo class with Kerry….. oh well….please write LOTS about it, and I know you will take lots of great photos. Have fun all who join in.
