As an attendee last year, I had a blast! Can't wait to see what this year holds! For those on the fence about signing up...go for it! You won't regret it :)

Pati Cahill was one of our teachers last year. She is returning as an attendee, but she may also teach a class. All we need to do is ask. We will not have a bead bazaar, so extra torch time on Saturday. A pig roast (whole pig slow cooked all day) will be the Saturday party meal.
barb and I will be staying on site so the hours to torch into the night will be extended.
