The inaugural event will take place September 24-26, a first of its kind in the DC Metropolitan area. Taking place in the Hampton Inn and Suites, Dulles, the retreat is minutes from the Dulles airport, with a free shuttle service to the event location.
Sought-after, nationally known instructors will be teaching in an intimate setting .... not a bustling, busy conference center, giving students the best learning experience possible.The instructors include:
Deryn Mentock
This is Deryn's first time teaching on the East Coast and her ONLY teaching venue on the East Coast, so if you're a fan of her jewelry and always wanted to meet the artist behind the popular blog, Something Sublime, now's your chance! Learn an array of wire links and many secrets of working with wire, make resin earrings, and combine vintage pictures with metal work! Check out her various classes!Melissa Manley
Here's your chance to learn metal techniques from an expert. Her "Hard Candy" enameling class sells out early wherever she teaches it...and only TWO spaces are left! You can also come try using a rolling mill with metal in her "Roll Playing" class, and try out a hydraulic press in her "Forest Floor" locket classKerry Bogert
Take a class with the author of "Totally Twisted" If you've ever wanted to learn how to make lampwork beads, now's your chance! Kerry will be teaching a beginner's lampwork class. You can also learn how to make several wire bangles in her Bang-A-Rang class, even using your own beads if you take her lampwork class!Lesley Venable
You can take both jewelry classes AND mixed media classes, all at the same retreat! Work with vintage pictures, ephemera and inks in Lesley Venable's altered art classes.BOTH day and evening classes are available, and lunch is included with the full day classes.
A Meet and Greet Reception occurs on Friday night and is included free of charge with your class registration.The instructors will have their art and supplies available for sale, and it's a great opportunity to network and meet friends, "old" and new.

Melissa Manley's "Hard Candy" enameling class is full. How do I know? My best friend from college and I have the last 2 spots. Art and best friends, what a weekend.
I wish I was still up in Virginia I would be going too! That looks pretty wonderful!
Oh, I so want to attend! But the east coast is so far away. Hey Midwesterners--can we organize one of these awesome events in the Kansas City are???????
Jenny, lucky you that you got one of the last two spots for the Hard Candy class!
Thank you for sharing the word here on Art Bead Scene! Hoping many ABSers will be in attendance in September!
