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.
