My First Work Shop

Today I held my first workshop, a technique based class on molding.  I enjoyed every minute, and I had the best students. Thanks everyone for being so supportive!  We had fun making molds, casting, and more. Everyone had something different to contribute and I thought we all had a great time.




Maryl and I baked some goodies...
She made some delicious Bake Sale Betty Ginger cookies and I made my chocolate chip cookies.  We bagged them up as if it was a bake sale :-).
Here's some of our finished products from the class.  Sorry, we didn't picture Lana and Diana's work - they had left before we shot this pic.

A special shout out to my sister, Maryl, for helping me get my house in order.  You made everything look great!


Yay! Tomorrow's Mother's Day! I can't wait for a "me" day of relaxation.

    Thanks again Connie for sharing your art and your home, it was too fun. What a great group of artists to share the day with. I am still amazed with how little Sculpy each mold takes. I am going to take your suggestion and try a few with colored clay, especially the biscuit.

    Hi Connie!
    The dogwoods (on my blog) were in bloom at Amador City. It's about 30 minutes from Folsom. Had a great time meeting EVERYONE and learning a new technique! thank you so very much for allowing me to attend. I'll be mailing back your original pieces (inside the molds I made) and a little present too. Happy Mother's Day!
    xox, Diana

    teaching seems as natural to you as raising your family: with joy and patience and especially love.

    i learned so much and am eager to start making more molds.

    your place looked spectacular and the preparations for the class and the handouts are greatly appreciated..

    happy Mother's day..
