Description
The Art Retreat in the Desert is distinctly different from traditional gem and mineral exhibition halls.
Presented by Vivi Magoo, they offer an extensive variety of jewelry making, metalsmithing, and artisan design classes taught by expert designers. You can join the classes that match your interests and skill levels. Please note that each workshop requires an individual class fee and materials kit fee.
They provide approximately 75 classes during the show, making it one of the premier opportunities during the Tucson Gem Show season to learn and craft original jewelry. If you plan to attend this show, you should register on their official website in advance, as class seats fill quickly.
