As summer is in full swing now I am getting ready to teach at GUAC (Grown Up Art Camp) at Del Ray Artisans in Alexandria, Summer At Camp at the Workhouse Arts Center and Summer Jewelry Camp for Arlington Adult Ed.

For GUAC I am teaching PMC Basics, Stained Glass Pendant and Kimono Cuff.  

During Summer Art Camp at the Workhouse, I will be teaching 3 of the sessions. For 6-10 year old The History of Jewelry and for 11-13 years old Stained Glass. 

Arlington Adult Ed will be 9 am to 12 pm Monday through Friday of JEWELRY!

I just uploaded classes for July through December on my website and more will be added at venues put out their calendars so keep tuned.

Plus I am getting ready for two upcoming shows so those projects are in stages on the workbench also. Busy, busy, busy.

This summer will be some changes to the Joy Household and I will be letting you know what they are as the progress. 

What are your big plans for the summer? Going anywhere? Taking a class or two? Staying home and relaxing? New projects? Shoot me a comment to let me know what you are up to!

 I just want to send out a big thank you to all my customers. Without you I would not be the artist I am today and for that I say thank you. A few weeks ago I received an order for a pendant that turned into three pendants for an old neighbor from Hawaii. Small world getting smaller I'd say. I was so happy to be able to make the changes she requested and on receiving the pendants she was very pleased. Originally it was one pendant and because I had no more of that wonderful glass we decided to cut it into 3 pendants.

I am offering all past customers, you know who you are, a 20% discount on any purchases. Just email me and I will applied the discount to the item you want- on my website, Etsy or Artfire.
