Workshop at Arrowmont

I have been taking forever on getting to this, but here is part one of my stay at Arrowmont for the Enamelist Society Conference:

While I was at Arrowmont a few weeks ago I took a workshop with Ricky Frank on "Light and Color in Cloisonne." Ricky Frank is a really great artist, and he taught me so much in the 2 1/2 day workshop. We focused on clarity and blending of colors in enamel. I was really pleased with how my sample turned out. I was able to blend colors like never before, and the enamel was crystal clear!

Here is a progression of my samples I worked on during the workshop:






The Arrowmont campus was beautiful! Here are some images I took of the campus:

The dining hall








I saw a black bear behind this building! They were all over!
