September Bobbie Takashima Seminar


Bobbie says that a love of art has been a part of her since early childhood when she tagged along with her mother to paint classes. She had her first formal class in 1960 and has studied with many decorative artists since. She opened Country Keepsakes Folk Art Studio in 1985 where she and nationally recognized teachers conduct seminars and classes. Bobbie has authored several painting books, numerous magazine articles and more than a hundred pattern packets. When not travel teaching, she can be found at conventions or her studio in California.
