I'm at Bead Camp two hours away from my house and loving every minute of it. A couple times a year, one of my friends, Marjorie Langston hosts instructors and torch time. In her own right, she's a wonderful teacher and I will post another day about her teaching gig (along with Terry Hale) in Ireland this summer.Her garage seats 12 comfortably and then some of us sleep upstairs in her above the garage studio on air mattresses and sleeping bags. Of course we chat until too late and have a great time.
Thursday and Friday I took a fantastic class from Brad Pearson. He's a not only a wonderful teacher, but so very talented. I like taking his class because he works so precisely and uses techniques that are very different from what I normally do. If you are a regular reader, you'll know that I believe strongly in taking classes that are different from your style. They'll stretch your abilities and you'll find ways to incorporate those techniques into your work.
So greetings from Chattanooga, TN, and I'll be back Monday with lots of info and tips from this weekend.
Oh Marcy, have loads of fun and make some wonderful beads. I can't wait to see your new offerings. Debbie

ReplyDeleteThanks so much. We're having a great time. It's 10:30 pm, and we're still going strong. I'm going to need to sleep for two days after this.

What a lot of fun! You might sleep for two days to catch up after all the late nights, but I'll bet you'll be dreaming of glass the whole time :)
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like a lot of fun--I love camp!
