Hotei needed us to switch around some dates, so please note the new times for Cylon, Dodecahedron, Beginning Chainmaille and Shaggy Loops.


December 2008
Posted classes for January and February as well as a few dates for March. New classes include Jacob's DNA Ladder, X-Lock Byzantine, Cylon and Rebeca's Bead&Button class: Japanese Flower.

Lillstreet accidentally scheduled us for two Winter Pendant classes instead of one, and since folks have signed up for both classes, we will run them both! We just added the second one (for Satuday, December 13th) to our calendar. Vanessa was already scheduled to teach at Briolette that day, so Kat will be teaching the Lillstreet class.


October 2008
Added a Persian Series at Blue Buddha Boutique. Also filled in the rest of November class dates and added a few more December classes.


September 2008
Posted classes for October, as well as a few dates for November and December. More classes will be filled in as those months near. A new class at Lillstreet is the Persian Maille series. We've also started adding some of our shows to the calendar (eventually the whole calendar will probably be moved to a new area of the website).

Classes for September have been posted.

Added three special guest-instructor classes by Susan C Thomas. Come learn how to incorporate rubber rings with anodized aluminum rings for some truly amazing maille.
