Blue Raven Art School

The former Blue Raven Gallery and Gifts has become the Blue Raven Art School. The space has been renovated to provide a teaching facility for fine arts and crafts of all varieties: oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, drawing, ceramics, jewelry making, felting, pottery, gourd art, tapestry weaving, and more. It is also a space for music lessons, meetings and special events. 

Blue Raven Art School is a place where you can go to learn a new skill or craft in many different mediums. It's also a place where communities are created.

Joan Lisi

Fire and wire have been  passions for me. To connect them with glass and wrapping is just the best.
I love fire and have done since the age of 17 when I started making pottery. But then at the age of 55 my pottery business partner introduced me to the process of making glass beads.  It was a brief play-time away from clay and kilns.  It changed my life. Four years ago I put down roots in Tucson, Arizona, with my studio space only a delightful few steps away.   My beads, lampwork (effetre), are born within the flame of a bench torch, mashed, rolled, dotted and streaked, and annealed in a kiln. Once cooled, they are woven and wrapped in metals such as aluminum, copper and silver.  I produce earrings, bracelets, necklaces, but predominately pendants.  Fire and wire have been  passions for me. To connect them with glass and wrapping is just the best.

Shannon can help you find a way to satisfy your interest in creating jewelry with beads. Beads come in all kinds of materials, from all over this planet. They can be centuries old have been passed through many hands around the world. They all have a story to be told. They can be a feast for the eyes, with all the many colors, shapes, textures and sizes. You will be able to put something together that you will treasure for a lifetime.


Amber Pierson:

Amber's true aim is to make something others will enjoy. She works in various mediums but has become totally enchanted with the colored pencil.

Kay Womacks:

As an artist, Kay's life has always been filled with the joy of creating art.  She has worked in many mediums over the years, but continues to enjoy exploring the challenges of watercolor and its’ many possibilities.
