Hello Students and Parents!
Well, I'm late, as usual, getting this web page done.  However, here are the classes for the month of
April.  
First off, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Chris F. on winning the basket of art
supplies.   He guessed '80' for the number of cats that I own. (Real, pictures, ceramic etc.)  The
actual number was '87'.  Way ta go Chris!
This month's classes emphasize Spring, outdoors, personalized items, favourite characters,  Inca
designs and new art techniques.
Please register early and tell your friends.  As always, call me if you would like to take a class but are
unable to make it on the night scheduled.   We will work something out.  If you are interested in a
class from the 'past', please let me know.

I would like to invite everyone to come on out on April 9th to the Spring Fling Craft Show at the Ice
Palace, in Keswick.   It is a fund raiser for 'Stray Cats'.  They do amazing work in the community and
they need your support.  I will be there promoting classes at table 42.   See you there!
