Our final day…Day 4. Diane Salter taught us this mixed media project with our choice of 4 ways to complete. As always, so many different ways we all created the 8x8” cradle board.
Diane also has an Etsy shop. Please check out her shop for a variety of items available.
Here’s the last of the pictures. Hope you all can join us next year!

It was great to see how everyone made their owl, all so different from each other. Here are pictures from Day 3…

Here we are on Day 2.
This was a very creative day using polymer clay. Instructor Wendy Mosbacher showed us several techniques and ideas to make a top on a painted cigar box. I have included some of her own creations available on her Etsy shop along with student class work.
Enjoy!
My apologies for missing a couple of student’s work.

I can’t believe it’s over. It was an amazing week full of great art, great food and great friendships.
Day 1 we worked on collages taught by Carrie Tredo Sheffield.
There was such a variety of collages with a variety of meanings behind each collage shared by the students. Some were even named “Doris” 😉😁
Here are pictures from Day 1.
More pictures coming soon.
A special thank you to Soup for donating books for us to use in our collages.
Also a big thank you to Carrie Sheffield for sharing another of her many talents.
