| Who knew art could be functional, beautiful and one of a kind? Learn how to work with an artisan whose medium is exotic wood. Discuss using exotic wood as a paint pallet to take your vision or your designer’s to create a piece so uniquely you that it beckons one to stretch their fingers to lightly touch the contours of the studio furniture before them every time you pass by. Join us with your questions for this fun, interactive seminar. |
