Even though the kids might be out of school, there is no reason for you not to learn a new technique or two. Take time this summer (and into the Fall) to immerse yourself in the textile arts at these "more intimate" settings around the country, many of which list recent TQS guest artists as teachers. Each venue is set in a location sure to tap your creative spirit, some list recent TQS guest artists as teachers, and some--like Fine Line Creative Arts Center--even let you customize a class for you and your friends.
