great time at CREATE in SoCal

Yoga Poses in Public Places (in front of my art quilts at CREATE in SoCal)

I'm just home from teaching at CREATE in Southern California. What a good time! Great students, great venue, lots of creativity and laughter! One of the best overall retreat experiences I've had.
 
  
I taught Recycled Circles (a few student pieces above). I love how every piece is different. (I'll be teaching Recycled Circles at CREATE in Chicago on Friday, August 24)

Happy Student!

This student was working in her sketchbook during each of the classes she took. Collaging  or painting whatever she was doing in class. I love this idea!

Student work~  "Free Spirited Free Motion"   

This was my first time teaching the all day "Free Spirited Free Motion" class and it was a hit! So much fun and I think all the students really enjoyed it, and 'got it!'  I'll be teaching this same class (under a different name) for two days at the Fallbrook School of Arts December 7 and 8th.

Happy students in my "Free Spirited Free Motion" class

Danielle Susalla Deery making s'mores at the hotel

CREATE took place at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, a beautiful hotel with an exceptional staff. (They even had s'mores ingredients for the guests to roast over the outdoor fire pit!) Next year's CREATE will be held in the same hotel (yeah!) May 29-June 2. Mark your calendars.
