Don't forget to register for this class that starts this Friday, November 6. September's students really thought they learned a lot about swatching, and felt much more comfortable about swatching for future projects at the end of class.

We had a lot of fun. This is a very interactive, question-and-answer type of class, with lots of hands-on swatching (simple, small pieces) to do.

Please come join us and learn why, when, and how you should swatch!
