Amy
WORKSHOP NEWS: I have two workshops coming up on Salt Spring at the end of June, the 28th and the 30th. These are two topics folks have been asking about after seeing my work.
Brief descriptions are below, and on my website. Each course will be small group workshops, and there are only a few spaces left. If you're interested, contact me soon by finding the contact form on my website.

All the best.
