February 2010

Sometimes you just need a creative challenge. Today I tackled a project that looks simple in its finished form but is fairly complex to create.

Well, I didn’t make it out to Tucson thanks to all the snow. But I did do the next best thing.

Thanks Joan and Amanda for coming out and spending time enhancing your new found smithing skills in the Discover Silversmithing 2 workshop.

I continue to beef up the tool arsenal for the studio, and today I added a really fun one...

the disc cutter.

“What a great way to spend a saturday afternoon”. This said by the last student to leave the studio yesterday. I am so glad.

Well, I was supposed to be on a plane toward Arizona, bound for the Gem Show in Tucson, but mother nature had other plans.

The finals session with these fabulous women was a bit of a free-for-all with a few creative “twists”.

Lots of fun for me today seeing what direction each person took with a newly learned skill.

The good people of the Art League of Germantown invited me to come and share a little about my work and my creative process.

Today’s workshop yielded some great results. Creativity abounds in this group.
