| My desk during the workshop. Creative chaos! by Jane LaFazio |
They are incredibly talented.
The workshop was divided into 4 days each. The first four days was more sketchbook with some stitch.
The second 4 days was more focused on stitch. All the work and design and colors were based on the inspiration seen aroundme, in rural Georgia in January.
It was a most wonderful experience for me. To fill my own well, as a teacher, while learning from two of the very best contemporary textile artists was a dream come true. The two women are unbelievably creative and inspirational. Truly artists I want to emulate in their originality and skill.
And, it was pure joy, for me, to be a student! I love learning and to have 8 days just for me was fabulous. I cherished every moment.
For now, I can't wait to spend some time in my studio and try out some of what I learned, and see how it will inform my future work.
