Thursday I boarded yet another plane to fly to Rochester, NY for 3 full days of classes. Betty Schnellinger had taken classes with me at Beadfest events and then traveled to my studio for semi-private sessions. She returned to her home in Buffalo, and scheduled me for an intensive, all day beginner's workshop for members of her bead group. We worked from 8:00am until about 7:00pm, completing three full projects. These ladies were a lot of fun to work with. They provided a wonderful lunch buffet, and made some beautiful projects. I know I'll be back next year, to take them even further with their gorgeous work and designs. Many thanks Betty!!
(Also to her husband Jim, who makes unique handcrafted pens, one of which was presented to me as a thank-you gift!)
