I am so Happy to have a busy schedule this summer...and I hope if you have some spare time that you would be interested in taking a class with me.....I have been teaching in the lovely quaint town of Ocean Grove New Jersey for many summers..... It has really taken off since I started the first art classes in the gardens.....the Historical Society of Ocean Grove now  offer a variety of great classes at reasonable rates.   Here are some of the classes that I will be teaching....... Would love to see you there....I promise you will enjoy your day.......

My good friend Mary S. who works at the Centennial  Cottage pictured above  asked me several years ago if I would be interested in teaching some classes in the  garden of the cottage.

I was so happy to come up with some classes to teach.......and have enjoyed sharing my love of arts and crafts with the many students over the years....
