Practice between classes is encouraged (join us on Thursday morning at Makers Morning to continue honing your skills!) All tools and materials available as part of tuition fee.

About your instructor: Betty Firth has often felt like a magpie (or raven), attracted to shiny, beautiful things. She loves an abundance of colors and surrounds herself with as much color as possible whenever she can. She has particularly enjoyed working with color in pottery, fabric collages, weaving, beading, and watercolor, as well as stained glass.
