Adventures In Art #48-8 Day Pottery Workshop At Medalta

I spent the last 8 days in Medicine Hat taking a low fire salt and soda firing workshop with Andrew Kellner from Ontario along with 9 others.  Wow! What a place.   An amazing facility, great artist residence to stay in and interesting history I knew nothing about. Even got a tour of Plainsman Clay.   It was hot as hell too!

Adventures In Art #47-Giving Back

Katherine Panchuk got ahold of me this week to see if I had anything to donate to her son Liam’s fundraiser for his play that is the only local one accepted to the Fringe this year so I gave her these.  I hope they sell!

Adventures In Art #46- “Everyone Has A Story” Songwriting Workshop With John Wort Hannam At CASA In Lethbridge

This weekend I stayed with Lee and did a 2 day songwriting workshop with John.  It was held at CASA in Lethbridge.   Beautiful facility, 22 people and an interesting lesson on how he approaches song writing.   I really enjoyed it.  

Saw Ryland Moranz perform with his bluegrass duo at the brewpub last night and went out for supper w Lee, John, Jenny and Charlie tonight.   Great fun and a great way to explore another avenue of creativity.
