Jeanette Blix of Fundametals.net and Cindy Wimmer of Sweet Bead Studio, two jewelry artists, met at a coffee shop and talked wire. They talked about art and jewelry. They talked about growing and advancing their skills. And over a latte and cocoa, they talked about the lack of workshops in the Northern Virginia/DC metropolitan area. “Well this will just not do!”, they decided. And so, ArtBliss was born. ArtBliss is a new series of workshops that encompass jewelry design and mixed media from inte …

The kind that your only your fellow artists, your peers, can bring? Me too! That's why I started Juxtapose, for the fellowship, support and critical feedback t …
