Kathy was cranking the extruder, Rebecca was mixing clay colors, Denise was creating undersea creatures. We talked about our fearless leaders' (Barb and Les) soon-to-be opened gallery and studio space in Verona. Irene pondered the color blends to make Radiant Orchid and Judy was hatching plans for a frame for our bead strings. Laura told us about teaching a class in Argentina and Wendy dropped off a collection of hula hoops.
Our spring workshop is coming up March 15-16, 2014 with Christi Friesen. We'll be doing a floral wall hanging.
