Registration for the first Be Present Retreat is now open!  As if Liz is not kept busy enough with her beautiful handsewn creations (which are all over my studio), now this.  The amazing Judy Wise will be teaching in this first workshop, who will also be at Squam Art Workshops this September.  In case you didn't realize, Judy's middle name is IS.
