March 14th and 15th, 2013 is all about sculpture and building armatures to support a figurative piece of artwork using Powertex and epoxy clay as the medium. Discover a great way to express your art in 3D with versatile multimedia art materials.

On March 16th and 17th the focus is on a canvas piece using Powertex as a base and medium, combining dry pigments, paper and other interesting materials to develop a mixed media artwork.

Participants have the choice of registering for one session or both. For more information and to download the brochure for location and pricing just click the button below and download the brochure in the Powertex column. The husband/wife professional artists Jimmy and Sheryl McDonald will be graciously hosting the workshop in their beautiful studio. We will all have the rare treat of seeing their new work before they head out for the art circuit this season.

Evaluating the previous year has always been a challenge as I'm a stay in the moment sort of gal to a fault. Which means it is equally as challenging to make a plan for the upcoming year. Alas, I am forced to join everyone else and at least make an attempt to screw my brain back in after the holiday break to have a look at 2013. The only real disappointment is that we still don't have hover cars en masse.

So what are my plans? 

• I sculpted more last year than ever before and the public and my peers responded positively. I think I will do more-just makes sense.
• The little studio is bulging at the seams, I took on private lessons in there and quarters are tight. A larger space came open in the same location. I think I'll take it-just makes sense.
• I've been invited to do a one woman show in a pretty prestigious location this year. I think I'll do it-just makes sense.
• More folks want to do more Powertex workshops with me. So yep I think I'll do that too-just makes sense.

There are a few other things on my drawing board. I'm having a look at them and trying to make decisions based on how they fit with my lifestyle today. So in essence I guess I'm still staying in the moment and doing what-just makes sense.

I wish all of you a very prosperous and thought filled new year. And if something just makes sense to you....go ahead and do it!
