Martis Camp Folk School Forum II

What a wonderful event!  As I told you in a recent blog post, I will be teaching a pottery workshop at Martis Camp in August.

Over the weekend there were about a dozen instructors of different mediums participant involved demonstrations as a sneak peak to what they will be teaching next summer. 

I thoroughly enjoyed myself, meeting many of the members, a ton of kids and the other artists.  I befriended a very fun and down to earth fiberartist, Nancy Hinds who was working on a quilt which will be donated to Project Linus.  Others included:  Andy Skaff, a local oil painter, was painting with people in the sunroom.  Frank Pisciotta, another local, took over the indoor basketball court with his fly rods.  Larry Charles amazed us all with his wonderful drawings of Tahoe life.  Erik Rinkleff carved a 300 lb ice cube into an adorable bear Saturday and carved wood Sunday.  My only regret of the day was not joining in on one of the sessions with Joy Ravelli, owner of the Purusha Yoga Center in San Francisco.

Martis Camp is an extraordinary place, I am looking forward to being a part of it this summer.

Martis Camp Folk School Forum

I am so excited to be teaching a workshop at Martis Camp this summer!  Over Presidents Day weekend, all of the visiting artists instructing at the Folk School will be in "The Barn" with hands on demonstrations and a sneak peak at the summer session.

I will be teaching a slab building workshop.  Each participant will make 2-3 items choosing from half a dozen fun and functional projects such as birdhouse, planter, pitcher (or watering can), dishes and platters.

I have some samples in the kiln which I'll take pictures of and post this week while I am getting ready for the Forum this weekend.

I won't be at the studio Saturday but, will be there Sunday and Monday.
