Recent Workshops

It was such a pleasure to be back teaching at Maiwa in Vancouver in September. 

                                              

 

I taught both sculptural and wire workshops and both classes were sold out.  Everyone did excellent work!  

Thanks so much to Charllotte Kwon and the whole Maiwa crew for such a well run symposium!  Love that organization! 

Finally, I also got to see a bit of the beginning of Reconciliation week then a parting sculpture of Bill Reid's at the airport. What a treat of a week!
