Just spoke with Alice at Beadazzles in Sandy Springs, Georgia...I get to teach there in January! Woohoo! Beadazzles' reputation as a fabulous bead shop outside of Atlanta precedes it... Many of my teacher friends rave about this shop. Can't wait to go! They host several national teachers a year--looks like they've got Laura McCabe scheduled for August and Sherry Serafini for next April...makes me feel like I'm playing in the big leagues now, scheduled between those two!
I'll be teaching one 1-day and one 2-day classes. I used to teach Star of India as a 2-day workshop, but beaders have become so skilled now that it's easily a one-day for advanced beaders... So I intend to clear off the worktable and come up with a new, fabulous design. Any ideas? Requests? What do you think...seed beads and crystals? sculptural peyote stitch? A necklace, maybe? Possibly nature-inspired? Or I could go the other way completely and do a Steampunk-inspired metalworked thing with found objects and stamping and drilling and hammering on the first day, with some stitchery that pulls it all together the second day... If you were taking the class (or intend to), what would you like? Let me know!

Great, you are going to be within driving distance! (6 hrs or so)Finally.
All your ideas sound great. Steampunk with seed beads would be very interesting, sort of yin and yang. Thanks for your pix from the show, I pretended I was there with you.
Would love to have you in class, Ursel! Thanks for your ideas. Hope to see you in Atlanta...
