Day 3 - Artist Residency Week 2017

Day 3 back to the Stone School with a wonderful Mark Making Workshop with Karen Mackay.  We spent the morning leaning how to make marks with our right hand, left hand, eyes closed with all kinds of traditional and non-traditional tools.  What a fun time.  It was great seeing some buds who were on previous residency weeks.  Big hugs to Lucy and the Spencerville gang - Mary, Linda and Chris.  Supper was at Cafe 349 and we were not disappointed.  A chocolate fondue to boot.

Some tools of the trade.

I have to get me some of these.  I love it.  From amazon.

Chocolate fondue - YUM

Day 2 of Residency 2017

Day 2 started off with an artist talk by Catherine Timm at the Stone School.  She showed us her lovely fibre art and explained the processes.  After another amazing lunch potluck we spent the afternoon learning about Shrine Assemblages with Kate Strickland.  I enjoyed this very much even though I don't usually work small.  It was a bit of a challenge for me but I liked what I ended up with.  Then off we went to the lovely Elaine's for potluck and were serenaded by Wayne, Glen, Richard and Linda.  By the way the salmon on the bbq was delicious.  I love Residency Week!

"closing day"-opposite-vernissage-day - May 28, 2017 - COME DANCE WITH ME - Photo exhibition - Portage, Quebec

Last weekend..........................If you didn't get a chance to see:

A Dance with Entropy

Come dance with me and the exhibition.
I will be supervising the Stone School on Sunday May 28, 2017, Portage de Fort, Quebec.  It's closing day - opposite-vernissage day.
I would be happy to show you around from 11-4pm

Come see the photo exhibition that everybody is talking about.

There is energy in the world that permeates everything and which is present everywhere. Entropy describes phenomena, including energy, that have the most profound effect on all events in human existence. Our exhibit will posit photography as a positive energy for the arts and propose that the medium is under duress from various sources whereby the entropy of photography is in danger.
