Artfest 12. Thanks for the memories

This trip is going to be a whirlwind. Just wrapped up five wonderful days @ Artfest and now I headed to Shanghai for my day job. (Yes, Shanghai, that will be another post, I promise.)  The trip to Port Townsend, via Seattle was amazing. The experience of ARTFEST is something I will never forget. I wanted to thank all my students who gave it their all in the class room last week. They all made AMAZING work! And I am so proud of them.

If you have never been to Artfest, it is an annual art retreat held at an old fort in Port Townsend, WA. Set right on the ocean and full of history, has served as home base for this event for 13 years. Sadly, this year is the last year that Artfest will be held. A bittersweet experience for me, as it was the first time I had ever attended.

In consideration of  time: I am writing from gate 102 at the San Francisco International Airport; patiently waiting for my flight to board. I'll wrap up and share share some photos of the trip. There would have been more, but the camera has been acting up lately.

Soul House Class at Artists' Medium & Giveaway

I can't believe February is almost over. Here in Vermont, that means the days are a little longer, and the hardest part of the winter will soon be behind us. March will be here in a blink of an eye, and I will be at Artists' Medium teaching next weekend!

I've got a little cabin fever.  I am really looking forward to getting out, meeting some new students and teaching this class. Do you need to get out and stretch your wings, too? Need a little creativity and inspiration in your life? There's still a few spots available, I'd be thrilled to have you in the class!

The end of February also means that it's almost time for me to giveaway a little bird house shrine. I'm in the process of finishing it up. It needs to get it's little nest inside and some work to the front, but it's almost done.   

I wonder who will be the lucky winner? It could be you! The drawing will be on 2/28. If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. 

All you have to do is to make a post blog/website/FB page about the Soul House classes I'm teaching here in VT (and also in CT in the Fall)
