[MR] The Enamelist Society Conference is nearby

[David Wendelken]

This is the info that I have on The Enamelist Society Conference for 2011.

It will be held at Arrowmont craft school (www.Arrowmont.org) in Gatlinburg,
TN.

This is a once-every-two-years conference and they often bounce from coast
to coast, so the next time it’s likely to be east of the Mississippi is in
2015.

PS – The Enamelist Society is a great organization.  If you’re interested in
this craft, check them out.  They have a great lending library.
