I was invited by the San Diego Book Arts<\/a> to teach my plaster and acrylic class, Layers of Memory<\/em>. It seemed so long ago that we scheduled a date, signed the contract, and made arrangements for travel. And before I knew it, I was packing four large suitcases with art supplies, handouts, and 34 pre-painted and plastered cradled boards.<\/p>\n

\"SDBA<\/a><\/p>\n

I was also invited to give an artist talk on the Friday night before the class began. I gulped big and said yes<\/em>. The art talk was held at the La Jolla Athenaeum<\/a>, a beautiful facility.<\/p>\n

\"SDBA<\/a>I arrived early to get everything set up, and thank heavens my husband was along to take care of the technical side of getting the laptop connected to the projector.<\/p>\n

A small group attended my talk, but I think it went well.<\/p>\n

\"SDBA<\/a>Saturday morning arrived and I made my way to Miramar College in the Mira Mesa area of San Diego, where we had a nice, spacious room on the second floor with plenty of room to spread out.<\/p>\n

\"SDBA<\/a><\/p>\n

After a quick introduction to the class and the first of several demos, the ladies were off and running, getting their boards ready for plaster.<\/p>\n

Before lunch on Saturday, plaster had been applied, and by afternoon, they were sanding and applying layers of acrylic paint, adding texture, drawing, and making marks. It was a hive of happy activity.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, after a review of processes from the day before, and a few demos of new techniques, the ladies were once again off and running, making the most of every minute they had available to them.<\/p>\n

At the end of the workshop, after everyone had cleaned up their supplies, we had a walkabout, where everyone could take photos; then everyone shared about the work they created.<\/p>\n

Here is a sampling of the fantastic work created by these talented, creative, generous women:<\/p>\n

Thank you, San Diego Book Arts! It was so much fun and very energizing.<\/p>\n
