(2) Courses I teach out of the studio in Bloomer, WI

 
Dressing Table

The next hands-on course at the Bloomer Studio is a fantastic dressing table attributed to the Garvan carver from Philadelphia.

This piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Because the the new Bloomer studio is not yet completed, this course will be taught in the old facility and attendance will be limited to 3 students. The anticipated schedule will be for four weekends (Saturday and Sunday) in June, August, October and December 2010. Tuition will be $250 per class not including materials.

Contact Joel directly for questions or registration.
