Dear Clayarters,
Can't believe it has been as long as it has since I was able to participate.
Much has happened: We just had a baby girl 2 weeks ago Monday, were going
to move, didn't, now looks like spring, new work, new directions, some
teaching art online, started my Minnesota State Arts Board fellowship period
to name a few things. Very busy like many of you.
I would like to mention that Ernest Miller (Instructs at Minnetonka art
center and Fired up) and myself are putting on a Tom Coleman workshop at
Ernest's studio in Minneapolis. I saw Tom a few years ago and was truly
inspired and grateful for the experience of watching him and listening to
him. It has been many years since he's been "up here" so I would encourage
you to take advantage of this opportunity. You can find information at my
website listed below or feel free to contact me.
