<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Greetings, </DIV>
<DIV>Many of you have expressed an interest in jewelry and metalsmith skills, so I wanted to advise you of the upcoming fall classes in the Houston area. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Consider the semester class at the Houston Community College downtown (see announcement below). The arts building is conveniently located next to a student parking garage, so security and parking is not an issue. In addition to the class time, you have open studio time during the week/weekend which gives you full access to the tools and equipment. Audrey is a great teacher as well. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other schools with jewelry classes include: </DIV>
<DIV> - Glassell School of Art (look under education): <A href="http://www.mfah.org/">http://www.mfah.org/</A></DIV>
<DIV>- Lone Star College: <A href="http://northharris.lonestar.edu/">http://northharris.lonestar.edu/</A> </DIV>
<DIV> (formerly NW Harris County Community College, jewelry classes in NorthHarris campus)</DIV>
<DIV>- Art League of Houston: <A href="http://www.artleaguehouston.org/">http://www.artleaguehouston.org/</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know all the teachers at these programs personally, and they are highly recommended. Let me know if any questions. </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, Hillary Greenslade</DIV>
