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.
