It is the end of my second day of teaching here at ArtUnraveled and while my hotel room is trashed with all of my supplies, I am tired and my voice is nearly gone... I am buzzing with creativity and pure gratitude for all of the fabulous women in my classes. I love teaching but I always get a little nervous that things only make sense in my messy brain- that splatter, messy swipes, crawling around on the ground and all kinds of other stuff may not be interesting to other people. But those worries always disappear within minutes when everyone exceeds my expectations and turns all of the techniques completely into their own- it is so inspiring to see creativity in action, to watch others working through their own creative fears, finding all kinds of new ways to express themselves with color, paint and texture. Here are some photos from yesterday's Large Than Life class (tomorrow I will post pics from today's class!)

WoW! The work is amazing! Thanks for sharing the pics!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful group of artists you had there! Now the big question.. when are you coming to the Midwest to teach? :)
ReplyDeleteYes please! We'll all chip in for your plane ticket and you can stay at my house! These classes look like so much fun.
ReplyDeletewow that looks like the most fun class ever. since im only a 30 min drive to san diego i should take a class sometime!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! The pieces are terrific. I was tickled to attend one of your classes at ArtFiberFest and it was a blast. (Crown class) You happily let us go our own way and never pressured. So glad you decided to brave the uncertain and go full force into the arts.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! These talented artists must have had some kind of wonderful teacher!

ReplyDeleteThe photos from your classes are always so inspiring and bring me quickly back to AFF. I wish I could hang out with you every dang day (even if you laugh at my hammering skills). :)
