♥Travel Teaching in General...
I am feeling better about family situations, but my design schedule is tight and as much as I would like to be able to fulfill all the requests I have had to travel, for seminars and/or conventions, I just cannot get to them all. So, I will select a few each year, in various locations, here and abroad to try to reach students outside the US, (who cannot make it to a US convention or seminar). I am trying not to load my schedule too full, due to design obligations and family considerations, so hopefully I can paint with you at one of these locales.
♥Chapters/Shops/Organizations...
I also want to thank you for your requests over the years...and when I am booking full time as a US travel teacher, I will post it here and maybe we can arrange a seminar. I do appreciate your consideration of me to come and teach in your area. (Perhaps we can paint together at a convention, check my schedule to see where I may be.)
♥ Exhibiting: We (Vines and Valhalla) will most likely only be exhibiting (until further notice) in the Western US; that being the Las Vegas Convention and the alternating Portland, OR and Seattle, WA mini-conventions...thank you, we hope to see you at one of these shows!
♥Teaching in Latin America...
Effective immediately: With support for (and dedication to) the paint company that I am affiliated with (DecoArt), I must henceforth (and until further notice) work with the given distributors in the territories that request seminars and/or convention classes with me. So, in future, I will contact the DecoArt representative for Latin America (Laura Craft) to determine eligibility. As happens elsewhere in other countries, situations arise when there is a language difference (and distance between countries is involved), so please know that I appreciate the invitations that I have received thus far and I respectfully make this decision based on the relationship that I have established with DecoArt, my longtime paint company.
♥Teaching in Italy...
Effective immediately: Due to situations that arise when there is a language difference (and distance between countries is involved), and with the aim of making overall organization easier for everybody, I have enrolled the assistance of a coordinator to help with future seminars (and/or conventions) in Italy. Numerous invitations have come in over the years and at this point, (I have lost track of who has asked me and when they did so), so, I do apologize but I feel it is best to just start over. In the future, if you would like to host a seminar with me in Italy, please contact: M.Laura Baronti Marchiņ, (email @ mlbaronti@virgilio.it). She will help me to coordinate future travel teaching engagements in Italy, henceforth and until further notice. I do appreciate all of your requests…I simply cannot deal with it all successfully on my own...I have tried! Many thanks....
♥Paint Affiliation: DecoArt (www.decoart.com) This is the paint that I use in my books and pattern packets; and it is the only paint that I will teach with (in seminars and/or conventions, here and abroad). Thank you.
I wish you all happy painting... ♥ Jamie
