Catching up on blogging again. I had terrible computer issues, lost files, corruption etc, general over all computer yuck! After recovering from that then the website had to be updated. Travel teaching took priority over the blog and low and behold it is WEEKS later since my last post. However…now that the behind the scenes are working properly thanks to Andrew, I can start to catch up on blogging and of course the rest of Woodland Chic Design Team creations!! So stay tuned for that.
Earlier this month I taught at the Mendocino Art Center. It’s ALWAYS a pleasure to teach there. The facility and staff are wonderful. Plus the bonus of an updated and expanded jewelry studio!!!!!!!! LOVE!! I highly recommend MAC for a great weekend or midweek get- away combined with an art class. Lots to do, good food, creativity abounds in this place. We had such a fun time in the workshop. My students learned about metal clay and how to do cold connections. We combined them with found objects and even worked with resin. Check out the gallery below.
