I met Barbara at a Sherri Hunter workshop couple of years earlier. One day she called asking advice about a project in her backyard. After explaining that we were leaving for the west on the Concrete Carving Workshop Circuit in about a week it would be easy enough to stop by her house to look at the project. Soon, with the help of her daughter Lynn, the workshop was planned.
Gig Harbor, WA

Deb is a Garden Art Forum member and had taken my workshop in Seattle in 2008 as well as Donald Tucker's faux bois workshop at FEN in Montrose, CO. She is very productive and has a yard full of her concrete and tufa pieces, and since it was her second workshop she carved the wonderful pedestal.
My second workshop here and another fun time.

Mary Sue and Don make concrete statuary. He makes them and she paints them. She also offers classes and give opportunities for individuals to paint their own pieces.
Wonderful teachers and staff, top notch facility and beautiful scenery.
The back woods of Wisconsin was very pretty in the late summer. Had a great time around the greenhouse with the group.

Kim put together great food, a fun group and a fine working environment. We had to heat up the studio and the water for mixing but it obviously all turned out well.

Karen is a prolific stained glass and mosaic artist. It was very nice being a guest in her fine old home connected to an historic school house. This was a very creative group that works together on a regular basis.
My second workshop at the Botanic Garden. This time I even had the opportunity to walk around the grounds.
