 Are you a teacher and haven’t yet considered submitting a project for the SDP Annual Conference? We need your designs and creativity for our 2011 Wichita Annual Conference! We are looking for as many projects as possible to be submitted and considered for our 39th Annual Conference to be held in Wichita, KS! Do you teach beginner painters on a regular basis? We would love to see projects submitted that can be offered as classes to introduce decorative painting to those who don’t consider themselves to be decorative painters!
The new Teacher Kit for 2011 is now available in the 2011 Wichita Conference section on the SDP website. Download the kit for complete information. Submitting both 4-hour and 8-hour projects will increase your chances of selection.
