WillowsEdge Silk Scarf Workshop

Here are some images from our silk scarf workshop. It took place on three separate evenings. We spent about two hours each evening to complete the scarves. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were successful at making beautiful scarves! The participants were excited to see that they did not have to be "artists" to make their scarves look great. We will be holding another workshop soon due to overwhelming interest. A special thanks to artist/ art educator, Linda Dzurka, for her expertise in coordinating and running the workshop. Check the website www.willowsedge.net or blog for more information and sign up early!
