Wesleyan Potters Anual Show and Sale

I just found that the Wesleyan Potters linked to my blog so I thought I should post something new. I have started many blog posts since my last one in January but none have been finished enough to hit the "publish" button. Maybe some day I will pull myself together enough to write. Until then here are some photos of the work that I will put in the sale.

This piece won first place for mixed media in the Friends of Chicopee Library art show. Misty Spring Woods. It is a piece that I had started a long time ago and never put the finishing touches on. Then I got inspired and finished and framed it to put in that show back in the spring.






Another piece that I had 'in the works' for what seemed like a long time is this piece titled A Break in the Storm. I worked on this at the same time that I was preparing to teach out in Colorado. I brought it with me on the plane and worked on it in airports during layovers.



The third piece that I know I will be putting in the show is this image of Portland Head Light.  I used some new techniques on this piece, including some painting and working with fabric markers.







These are not the only pieces that I may have in the show. I hope to finish one or two smaller works to put in the show as well and I have one or two on exhibit elsewhere that may still be available when I have to drop things off down in Middletown.

My upcoming workshops

Just a quick post to announce my workshops for this spring. I will be teaching at Luckystone Studio in Glens Falls, NY in February. I will be teaching my one day Scapescarf class....


 on Feb. 6th. Go to the Luckystone Studio page to register. 

Then on February 7th and 8th I will be teaching my Landscape class
Here is my latest landscape using the technique that I will be teaching then.


Then in March I fly to Colorado to teach at the Felter's Rendezvous at Estes Park.  I will be teaching a new class there on how to create imagery with nuno collage. I have been preparing for that class and was inspired to create this piece with many layers of fabrics and embellishments. It still needs a few finishing touches...
