Sweetpea, our first pastel lesson will be given around the middle of this month and Dennis will inform everyone. The first lesson will be free, a gift to us from Dennis and Nolan. I would suggest you just keep watching the "Announcements" section at the top of the opening page or keep checking the "Watch Paint Basket TV Now" .. the big blue box at the top of the page which you can just click on and it will bring you up to what lessons are set down and when. You can also purchase the lessons directly from that site, as you will see, when they are announced. Hope that this helps you. If I remember and when we hear exactly when the first pastel lesson will be held, I will send you another message to remind you. Patricia
