I wanted to share with you, dear blog readers, that this will be my last year of sooo much traveling. I'll continue to do some local (San Diego, CA) workshops and of course, I'll continue with my online classes.

So, if you think you want to take a workshop with me, or have been yearning to go to one of my destination retreats, this is the year. I won't be doing any more European trips. Possibly some North American ones in 2018.

You can find all the details for these workshops on my Classes & Retreats teaching page.

Me, Me, Me

Jane LaFazio

Hey! want to know more about me? Or at least listen to some of my stories? CraftSanity mastermind, Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood, interviewed me for a podcast! Grab a cuppa and here is the link.

And you saw the interview wasn't enough? Here's a reason to join the Craft Industry Alliance and then you can read about me in their latest January journal Issue #33. It is seriously an excellent organization!

I'm working on some pieces for my workshop at CRAFT NAPA next week (sorry it's been long sold out.) (There will be an artist sale on Friday, January 13 at the Napa Embassy Suites at 6:30 pm, if you are in the area. I'll be there selling my wares!)
