Workshop Demo

It was a pleasure to teach a workshop this past weekend.  Special thanks to the incredible students, many of which traveled a great distance to attend. 

Spoiled isn't always a bad thing!

Finishing tags and boxing up door prizes for the workshop. Students should come with extra space in their luggage to haul their fabulous loot home.  The workshop booklets are coming together nicely.  Seven days and counting!

 

The Cat's Meow

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of serving as the MAC assistant for Margaret Zinser.  She is an incredible artist and instructor.  I would highly recommend her classes and workshops if you are ever able to attend.  Students learned the importance of practicing techniques and developing their own creative voice.  It was truly inspirational to watch Margaret share her prolific knowledge.  Upon returning home, I pulled some old sketches and started the process of redesigning to incorporate enamels.  Enjoy!
