New Bronze Clay Classes

On July 28th, I'll be teaching a class on making Bronze Rings.  It'll be at Mary Lynn's Yarn Garden & Off the Wall Gallery at 318 N. Main, Bloomington.  Starts at 1:30pm, will last 2-3 hours as needed to finish.  There are 3 or 4 people signed up, so there's space for 2 or 3 more!  Please contact me at artjools@frontier.com, or Mary Lynn at stitchinggirl_2000@yahoo.com.

We've scheduled a Bronze clay class making whatever your heart desires on August 4th, same location and times.  Please contact either of us above.  There are several openings there.

I did not get called for Sugar Creek art fair.  I did set up a table inside the Garlic Press, uptown Normal, so that helped.  Still..........really wish Rob had called.

We'll be set up for the next 5 Saturdays at the Downtown Bloomington Farmers Market, across from the music on Jefferson St.  This Saturday has the really fun Lincoln Festival going on.  I would highly encourage everyone to attend the market, the activities concerning Lincoln on the museum grounds (old Courthouse) which the market surrounds.  There are a number of other venues with more to offer...

Still waiting to hear......

We're still waiting to hear from the coordinators of the Sugar Creek Art Festival, which is only 2 days from now, as to whether or not Artjools will be one of the participants.  This depends on another jewelry artist dropping out, which apparently is not going to happen.  If that's the case, we'll be at the Farmers Market in the usual spot on Jefferson Saturday morning. 
    Then, if no word from MCAC, I'll set up a table in the front entrance lobby of The GARLIC PRESS, on North Street in Normal!  So, I'll still be there at the art fair, but not part of the art fair, enjoying being inside in the air-conditioning!!! Hah!!

I've also scheduled a Bronzclay Class on July 14th, to be held upstairs at Off the Wall Gallery, 318 N. Main St, Bloomington, IL.  This will teach you to make the Bronze jewelry components for your own jewelry designs!  Above is a sample of what you can do with this great stuff.  Contact me at artjools@frontier.com, or Mary Lynn at the gallery, actually at her store Mary Lynn's Yarn Garden at the same address, info@marylynnsyarngarden.com, 309-820-0174. 

Above are some Bronze Rings.  I've also scheduled a class in making these on July 28th, also at the Off the Wall Gallery.  Again contact me or Mary Lynn at the Yarn Garden.  These are both going to be lots of fun, and you'll have some great jewelry when you're all done!
