I am over the moon happy about a workshop that I had the privilege of taking yesterday with Barbara Lewis.
The day started out early, I left about 6:45 to drive to Annapolis to the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts where the workshop was being held. The moon was still up for a good long while as I drove, this was shot from my car.
I met up with several good friends, Anne, Bette and Carol who were also taking the workshop and also got to meet Lori Anderson whose blog I have been following as of late.
The class had been sold out for awhile and with only 10 students it made for a very intimate learning experience. Everything was set up and ready for us when we arrived which was SSoooo nice. Barbara, shared all her knowledge of torch fired beads and we all got to freely play and experiment with the colors of the enamel rainbow! Beads, enamels, and any portion of the torch setups were available for purchase so most of us left with an arsenal ready to play once home in our own studios! It was a very relaxing atmosphere and a most enjoyable workshop. Thank You Barbara (and Jim!)
Laura, I'm so glad I finally got to meet you and your friends! It was a great day ... I'm still enjoying the glow! Thank you for insisting that we get a picture! It's a nice record for me of the day. BTW, you made your some great beads. I look forward to seeing more from you. :-)
