Back from the Barn
"The Barn"
I got back from my Master Composition workshop with Nancy Crow on Saturday. I had a wonderful time but I’m still exhausted, both physically and mentally.
I ended up making 7 rather large quilts (just the tops – they still need to be quilted) during the workshop so it was very productive and successful. And I got to work with some very dedicated and talented artists. The energy in the room was amazing. The experience won’t soon be forgotten.
My workspace
I shared a workspace with Marina Kamenskaya who I first met in 2004 at another workshop at the barn. It was a perfect experience getting to work next to Marina as our work habits, seriousness, dedication to our art and our sense of humor were well matched. I learned about the history and meaning of the Russian phrase "figure it out for three", so it was a cultural education in addition. Thanks for the wine Marina!
I have a lot more to say about the workshop but not right now. My brain is still processing it all and it’s time to get to my studio for the first time since I returned home.
