  In addition to our monthly Leather Tooling class with our expert carver, Jim, we are now offering a leather project class with Bill Martsolf.  

  If you are taking the tooling class you can come in and work on your current project or you can attend and learn some fun and useful leather projects.  Most of the classes will include a project you will finish by the end of the class.  Bill will also introduce larger projects but always lots of options.

  This class will be held on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Thursday at 1 pm.  The Leather Tooling class is on the 2nd Thursday.

  Equipment and supplies will be provided.

  This service is free to veterans and eligible family members.  All veterans or family members requesting or already participating please complete the Registration Application  and enter 'Healing Arts' as your reason for applying. This form is only required once per year. Registration per session is required each time.

  Tai Chi is back and our sessions will be limited to 12 veterans per session for ease in distancing. 

  The sessions are on Wednesday from 1 pm to 2 pm.  Calendar Registration is required for each session. You can click yes in the email or go to the events page for each session you want to attend and register.

  We also need you to complete the online  annual registration form for class participation in any of our classes or healing art sessions. If you have a studio access pass you have already completed this form.

  This form will only need to be completed once for the current fiscal year (July 1-June 30) and for subsequent sessions just register on the event calendar or on the link in this email.  But I urge you to please register so I do not need volunteers to enter you.  Registration will eliminate a sign in sheet.

  If you have any questions or have trouble getting registered, or just want to confirm you are, you can email me by reply email, or phone the studio at 970-462-3126, or phone or text my cell at 970-424-2312. Text works best since my phone does not always ring and I do not carry it around.

  If you register on here and I do not yet have your online form I'll be in touch.

  Welcome Back!!!
