Melissa Villadiego
Melissa is our resident “arteest” and designs our themes for each retreat. Her designs are fun, fresh and definitely collectors items! Melissa also handles most of our online communications including Facebook and LampworkEtc. Contact Melissa at melissa[at]villadesign[.]org.

Thanks to Bryan, we are able to hook up surface mix torches for general use at the retreat. Bryan works with a local oxygen vendor to rent and ultimately set up enough oxygen to last us through the weekend.
