December Studio ClassesCategory: Newsletter — Nov 17, 10:30 PMThe leaves almost gone and my focus shifts more inward. The studio glows with light and I am immersed in the kozo and wings of my insect installation project. During this season I always like to take a few days and open the studio up for others to come create in this beautiful space. This season give yourself to the deep satisfaction and joy of creating. I'm offering a special opportunity to spend time in an inspired space with an intimate class and wonderful materials... ALL NATURAL: A DAY IN JILL'S STUDIO Treat yourself to a day of rich textures, colors, and forms. Choose from a selection of explorations or projects with all natural materials.
