Note that Rebeca is taking a hiatus from teaching for most of the summer—time to rejuvinate, revise handouts, and come up with some great new class ideas! Blue Buddha Boutique weaver Vanessa Walilko will be taking over several of the chainmaille classes for the summer months and beyond. She's excited to share her techniques and help you learn to craft beautiful pieces.
