Watercolor workshop by Soon Warren from Texas

(Note: workshop may be filled already. There were only 3 spots left at the end of the day when email was originally sent.)

from Joyce Eesley <joyce_eesley@msn.com>

Hi Tom,

I have a friend who is trying to get a workshop together and was wondering if it is possible for you to send it to MSC membership  The artist is Soon Warren from Texas.  She is a very, very good watercolor artist and would be willing to come up to Racine the first week in August to do a full week, Monday through Friday workshop for us.  To cover her cost, the cost of the site, etc. the coordinator figures that she would have to charge around $ 350.00.  This would be much cheaper than the TWSA workshop fees or any other International known artist.  She has a website if they want to view Soon's artwork.
 They can email Sue (swolff@wi.rr.com) if they are interested or have any questions about the workshop.

Please send this to MSC members.  Thanks in advance for passing this on.

Joyce

Hi All

 

Joyce informed me as of this morning, Soon Warren had 10 people signed up for her workshop. The room only holds 12  so if anyone is thinking of taking the workshop they should act immediately!  Joyce suggested looking up her website to see why she wants Soon Warren to teach for us!
