June Knowles
June Knowles is very talented at both making lampwork beads and Kumihimo (a braiding technique). See some of her work HERE
June is a Florida native and has been making jewelry for more than 30 years. Her most recent passion is making her own glass beads using glass rods and a torch. This process is known as lampwork. Kumihimo has become her favorite technique to highlight her handmade lampwork beads. She is looking forward to sharing the process with you and she is sure it will become one of your favorites as well.
Kumihimo is a braiding technique that is used in the making of long decorative strands. These cords are used in a variety of decorative ways. Some people wear them as bracelets or necklaces. Others use them as functional laces or simply let them swing free.
June also teaches a class on "Hand Dyed Silk Scarves" in which participants will learn basic silk dyeing techniques with beginner-friendly silk dyes. You can take home three 11" X 72" scarves that you dyed yourself.

Elisabeth Ferber's artwork can best be described as "classical representational". She does not seek to change what is, but to paint and present it as she perceives the scene to be. She strives to create a painting that shows the beauty and character of a landscape and the life which lives there. Art is a treasured gift threefold; a privilege to create it, share it and teach it. See some of her artwork that is available at Artisans HERE.
