Umm, have you checked out Tacoma Art Place? I met Linda Danforth, Founder and President, last fall when I purchased some of her gorgeous hand-made jewelry at Dame Lola's (one of my very fave local boutiques which is about to reopen over by Angelo Mendi's!). Linda invited me to help with makeup for Tacoma Art Place's Inspired Elegance fashion show last fall, and we've kept in touch ever since.

Linda opened Tacoma Art Place, a non-profit organization, to help make sure everyone has access to creating and enjoying arts and crafts. She just returned from India (where I bet she made some purchases for future fabulous jewel creations) and shared with me some of what is going on at Tacoma Art Place nowadays - jewelry making, experimental drawing, knitting, and all kinds of classes. She also mentioned they're getting set up with wheels and kilns to begin offering pottery and ceramics!

Whether you want take a class, or teach one! ...this is a wonderful organization well worth visiting, volunteering for, or donating to.
