Queen Amie Closing Event – November 14, 3 – 5 PM

The Queen Amie Studio will be having a closing event on Saturday, November 14, 3 – 5 PM. This will be an open house for the workshop participants, interested friends, and guests. The open house will be a great opportunity to see the batiks made by workshop participants and by Queen and her colleague, Carole Hay, who has been crucial to the success of the workshops. WE will have future postings about this when the date draws closer.
