Skin Deep: Surface Treatments for Jewelers with Ken Bova

I visited with Betty Mckim at Pullen Art Center yesterday. She gave me a flyer for an upcoming class at the center, which happens to be taught by Ken Bova. He is a wonderful teacher. I studied with Ken at Montana State in Bozeman 10 years ago and I saw him recently. He remembered a piece that I had made so long ago and described it in detail. Very impressive. He is currently a visiting professor at East Carolina University. It is such a treat to have him on this side of the country and to have him teaching a class so nearby. If you have a chance, you should definitely sign up! It will be well worth your time!
