UPDATE - Classes at A.C. Moore

A lot of you have been asking me about classes at A.C. Moore. From what I understand the stores are slowly adding classes back in. Wilton Classes have already been rescheduled.

I'm hoping to hear back soon whether or not I'll be the Jewelry/Beading Instructor at the Dover/Rockaway, NJ store.

I've taught a lot of really nice people over the past 6 years. I hope I have the opportunity to continue there.

Classes at A.C. Moore

Received a letter Friday from A.C. Moore, dated December 30, 2010.

"Effective January 2011, we will be evaluating and implementing various changes to our class instruction program. One of the changes being implemented is the requirement that classes in A.C. Moore stores must now be taught by A.C. Moore associates. To ensure that these structure changes are made appropriately, we will not be offering certain classes across the Company starting January 2011, including the classes that you currently teach."

"Education of customers is an important facet of A.C. Moore's overall goal of being the best arts and craft destination along the East Coast. Our goal is to have additional information communicated to you in February 2011 regarding the future structure of the class instruction program."

I've really enjoyed teaching at A.C. Moore for the past 6+ years. I've met some great people. I am currently looking for other venues to teach beading/jewelry making. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

I'll keep you posted on where I'm teaching and what I'm doing. Please keep in touch.

I hope all of you have a very creative New Year!
