Adventures In Art #57-Raku Workshop

The makeup raku workshop in Martensville I was supposed to do in May and didn’t because I got so sick was this weekend.  (Only one saggar explosion! 🥴😳). Did everything but obvara.   Will do that in the spring.   Man, it was chilly but very fun.  Really happy with most of the results!  😊

Adventures In Art #56-Donation To Daycare

I donated 2 bird feeders to the online auction for the Bredenbury daycare again this year.   Hope it helps them out!  🤞🏼

They got $30 each.  Not bad.

Frigging Nelson!!! 😲

OMG.   Who knew all this was in Nelson BC!!   Diane Walters has an AMAZING set up here.   Her suite and studio are just incredible. I’ve already talked to her about returning next September and/or winter 2028.   Frigging great here!!   Took in a coffee shop, the Farmer’s Market, KSA and a cruise about town to get a fee for it.  Feels good, I’d say!

Adventures in Art #55-Salt Spring Island Pottery Residency With Julie MacKinnon

OMG!  This may have been my greatest art experience yet!   The last 3 weeks on Salt Spring Island has been nothing less than incredible.  Julie’s studio is so great and her enthusiasm, expertise and patience really helped me.  I learned so much.  

A trip over to Victoria to see Lyle Lovett, stayed with Shelley in Sidney, 31 completed pieces, 24+ to finish in January, a 3 day intermediate/advanced wheel throwing workshop, great food, wonderful accommodations with Julie’s friend Andrea, a few visits with Kim, friendly people, beautiful weather, stunning surroundings.  I am so thankful and grateful to have been able to do this.

I took an extra day to just rest and sightsee a little before heading home tomorrow via Nelson, BC to scout out Diane’s place as a potential future winter escape.   

Such a great experience.

Pieces to finish in January
