Metals Workshop at the Murray Art Guild

Some pictures from my most recent workshop with some 10-13 year old budding metalsmiths at the MAG.  They have been incredible focused and have created some one of a kind pieces for themselves along with learning the skill of sawing and breaking blades and replacing blades and breaking and replacing without one compliant of the process!! Love this age group!

Drip, Drop, Splat

Exploring drips and drops I have found this recurring shape in my work.  I am working on some new pendant pieces that focus on more of a splat.  This came about from a project I taught this past semester using ink splats and drips on paper then blew with a straw.  We tapped into our inner Surrealist persona to "see into" the drips and create a series of images that were in the end identifiable beyond a drip.
