Switching Gears in 2011

I am taking a small hiatus from j2f workshops and have been concentrating on my art and working with Linda down at our new space the L E Warford Gallery in the 4th Avenue Market Place.

It has been alot of work getting a Gallery up and running it day to day, not to mention the First Fridays every month. But we get real excited, panicky, cranky, fried, inspired, creative, exhausted and then we throw a party at the gallery and drink wine with friends. Such a trip it has been so far.

 

I still a few j2f workshops planned for this year, a bookbinding workshop in March and of course an Earth Day Event that my friends at GrassRoots will be hosting. But "junk" keeps calling me back to come play and I can't resist. Plans are in the works for a Recycled Art Sculpture Show. Stay tuned..........

I have made it back and am coming up for air.

I can't believe it has been so long since the last post. I'm not really good at this blogging thing, but it is a great way to say what you need to say. I have been busy trying to lead my life as an artist and have been diving into all sorts of things. Been printing fish, painting watercolors, taking family photos in Hawaii,  making sculpture, jewelry, silk screening textiles and sewing. Whew!
But I am back to J2f and starting the 2011 winter workshops with a calendar recycle workshop that will show you how to use all those beautiful images to create functional fun items. I have a Gauguin and Kandinsky calendar that will make great books and envelopes. It is a 2 project, 3 hour workshop and I hope to see you at GrassRoots, 5-8pm, Monday Jan 17.
