It's applicable in so many situations in life. :-) I try very hard to keep it in mind when I find myself struggling to create a a finished work of art instead of looking at the class as a prototype-making session for future reference. <br /><br />I do hope to travel back to your lovely studio/store very soon! You are a FABULOUS hostess. <br /><br />Janene K.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253597814110090984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213477643200215676.post-53367795496341873022018-11-21T07:53:27.317-06:002018-11-21T07:53:27.317-06:00Yay!

They also have an email where they will highlight upcoming events. I’d also check at your local library, art store, and Ag Extension offices. Groupon is also a good place to look.

You are so right that it’s important to create the environment where all the students need to focus on is creating. That’s why I include lunches (no leaving the studio to try and find something to eat in strange city), snacks, drinks, and lots of chocolate! Holler if you need anything, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned through trial and error!

As a novice creative person, I am thankful for the stress free, creative, fun, challenging and inspiring environment you provide. I look forward to seeing you again in 2019 as well as learning about the many creative outlets I have yet to discover!
