Line Etching Workshop with Sarah M. Newton

So I always wanted to try out Etching and I think this might be the perfect opportunity - plus, I will finally make my own Christmas Cards which has been on my to-do list for about 15 years.

My amazing studio mate Sarah is teaching this class in December and everyone is cordially invited to sign up - the fee includes all materials:
