Expedition Yuma: A Family for Artists
Yuma has acted as the “laid back, family-style” conference that offered those in the Southwest, and now artists from across the country, a place to meet and learn about all art forms.See More

- Hey James, I was a student at UNT when you did the spinning demo and workshop. Graduated from there a couple of years ago. I have enjoyed spinning ever since. Still a member of the Metals club. Going through the frustration of trying to get into grad school and building up my portfolio. Thanks for adding me to your list.

"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
