Hello from the Pastel Society of North Carolina!
Marla Baggetta, www.marlabaggettastudio.com, will be the juror for the Statewide Pastel Juried Exhibition sponsored by all three Pastel Societies. She will also be teaching two workshops over a six day period on the NC State University campus. The first workshop will be plein air and and the second a studio class. Maximum class size is 15, so there will be the opportunity for a lot of individual attention. Housing will be available at NCSU at university apartments for $38 per night.
