Tangle Friendship Club
This free event is open to my students and the public. My goal it to create a “zen-like” atmosphere in which tangle enthusiasts can create and share with one another. You may want to bring a battery operated portable light with you. This time will be set aside to work on our projects and share a thing or two with the group, if you would like. To keep the “zen” philosophy of the event I ask that you keep your small children and babies at home.
I am looking forward to our Tangle Club gathering. Bakersfield needs a social artistic group of artists for creative people like you. Hope to see you there!
