Previews of Coming Attractions

Save the dates!!

We have a couple of events coming up that I'm sure you won't want to miss.  




Nathalie Metivier from Magenta Style Stamps will be teaching a class for us on Thursday, June 5.  The class will be held at 10:30 am and will be repeated at 6:30 pm.  Although she hasn't sent us any samples yet, she will be doing some mixed media cards, and those of you who have taken classes with Nathalie before know how much fun she is to work with.  She will also be bringing a trunk show of Magenta products, so this will be your chance to buy the same merchandise you will see that weekend at the West Springfield show, but you can get your 10% class discount.  The cost of the class is $35 and you can call the store to register.

On Saturday, June 21, Jane Jones will be teaching a Bare Bones Book Class.  In this class, you will make a hidden hinge book similar to books we have made in previous classes, but this time we will concentrate on the basic construction - making the cover, spine, hinge, and pages. You will assemble the book with pockets and flaps using magnet closures.  The book will go home to be decorated with papers and embellishments of your choice. Allow six hours for the class.  Materials for the book are included in the cost. You will need to bring red line tape, 1/4-1/2 sizes, 12" paper trimmer and Martha Stewart Score Board.  All of these items are available to purchase at the NEST. Your basic tool kit (scissors, bone folder, ruler, pencil and a pair of fine tip tweezers) is also a must have. The class will be held in the downstairs hall at First Church, on the corner of routes 10 and 167 in Simsbury.  We will begin the class at 10 am and will run until about 4:00.  There will be a short break at about 1:00, so feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.  A light snack and drinks will be provided.  The cost will be $45.  Space is limited so call ahead for your spot.
