    That is a full schedule! Switzerland (!)
    Looking forward to catching your lecture in January 🙂

  3. Wow! Impressive schedule. I hope to see you at Craft Napa, although I am not in one of your classes. Then, close to home, when you come to the Annapolis MD Guild. Wishing you a happy holiday with some down time to rest before you start your busy New Year.

  4. Thank Elaine! I hope to see you at Happy Hour @ Craft Napa! Happy Holidays to you too!

  5. Hi Maria, I don’t see Vermont on your schedule. I was hoping to take a class while your exhibit is at the Shelburne Museum. Does this mean they didn’t schedule? Thanks, Mary

    • Mary–I am teaching at the VQF, I will add it to my schedule. When I published this, we had not signed the contract yet. Their website should also have the info. See you in class!
