I just returned from teaching in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What a beautiful city!

Often, when I teach at a multi-day retreat, I hardly get out of the hotel and the classrooms, but this time, I got out and saw some of the sights.

Don't miss the Walker Art Center, the Minneapolis Art Center and the Open Book. All fabulous, inspiring art-filled spaces!

  3. Jane this is great and so inspiring! I'm thinking of trying out a similar lesson with elementary school students where first they use gelli prints to just make a bunch of patterns then cut them up an assemble them to create mosaics.
