Hello Subscribers and Art Lovers,
I hope this newsletter finds you well, and not plunged
OVERNIGHT from a lovely fall to the dead of winter, as
we were here in Colorado.
I've conducted several workshops around the country
since my last newsletter, including Louisville, CO;
Dallas, TX; and Raleigh, NC. They were all very fun,
and I heard those words I love to hear from more than
one student:
"This is the best workshop I've ever taken."
In between destination workshops, I've hosted several
groups of students for semi-private instruction in my
studio - several of whom were from Canada. I told
them I'm practically a Canadian myself, growing up
in Duluth, MN, only 150 miles from the border.
I'm now able to take a break from my busy teaching
schedule and concentrate on my own work. I recently
discovered air dry clay, and some uses for it that I
could apply to my work.
These hand made clay pieces may be painted, or
covered with torched origami foil for a very
unique and beautiful look.
At my workshop last week in Raleigh, at the
Hilton Midtown, there were 30 students torching
foil, which creates some smoke.
I was worried the fire marshal would
shut us down, or, even worse, the smoke alarm
would go off. Didn't happen (whew).
Here's an example of a medallion used in a small
mixed media painting.
