I've been to Fort Worden in Port Townsend with A and R. Port Townsend is a great town, on the water and pretty arty. The white and green buildings are very quaint and memorable.
This year I happened across the Artfest info BEFORE registration time, but with long enough to consider it carefully. I decided to go! I'll combine it with a visit with A and R before and after and lucky me, it is during spring break when I was off some of my work anyway.
I mailed my registration form yesterday in this envelope. Who can send a boring envelope to register for an art weekend?
Each day is one 6 hour workshop. I had to make three choices for each day. I would be happy with any I get of the ones I chose. I really had a hard time ordering the choices on day one especially. I would be equally happy with my first and second choice. But, decided I could do the second one on my own more easily and would learn more from the first choice.
I don't know if I'll have a room mate or not and most certainly won't know them if I do, so this is an adventure on many levels. I will have a car (A and R's) so I like that freedom.
Here's a list of the workshops. Keep in mind that I chose things that utilized craft items I am already invested in (though I had to use some restraint there). Wanna guess what I chose? I'll put the answers down a bit.
What would you choose? I'd love to hear!
My choices day 1:
Lush Layered Canvas
Prayer Flags
Spontaneous Deconstructed journals? I already forgot number 3.
Day 2:
Big Time Book
Journal Mapping
Fabric Paint party
Day 3:
Over-saturated Polaroid
Journal Babies
Wood Collage Totem
I can't wait!!

oh they all sound great. I've just spent over an hour checking out all the classes.
ReplyDeleteHope you get in to Lisa's class, she's fabulous.
That Big Time Book looks great, a beautifully colorful book he's showing. It's an open spine book, the first one I was taught and got me started on my book binding adventure. Love all the flaps and fold outs in the book. That's a heck of a lot of 140# paper. not a cheap book.
That Poloroid class looks very interesting. Will want to pick your brain if you take it.
Mary Beth Shaw's Painting without fear & texture on texture classes look great. There were a couple polymer clay classes I would have liked to take.
well I really hope you get the choices you want.
OH my god! Like I would be able to decide! It must have been really hard to just pick a few!!
ReplyDeleteI know you will enjoy your time there!! Life is an adventure!!

I was tempted by the polymer clay, but I have found the arthritis in my hand makes it hard for me to knead the clay, so I passed on those. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm trusting the fates will pick just the right class for me. It was hard to decide!
