Winter Session Classes Maria Smith will lend her skilled presence to oversee a weekly Glass Bead Making Open Studio, beginning Tuesday January 6 to  February 24, from 1:30 – 4:30.  Maria learned her impeccable bead making skills from Sage Holland and Beau Anderson, two of our treasured and respected teachers. With many hours dedicated to her craft, Maria has become a well-respected bead artist and jeweler and member of the Arkansas Craft Guild. 

          Pottery classes with David Dahlstedt next session is January 8 – February 26
