saturday/sunday

I apologize for being late on my post, but I was a lost cause yesterday. I could not pull myself away from watching the solid glass sculptors. They are absolutely amazing. All are very experienced, but have traveled this way to learn from Dino Rosin. He is from Italy and been working with glass for I believe 40 years now. It as always a treat when we can sneak in and see his demos. For my class yesterday we just went over technical skills in making plaster molds for a glass pour we are going to do sometime in the next week. We also had the AM to our selves and a friend of mine and I went for a hike through the tree farm. This place is magical the way the forest can change from 60 year old trees to fields of stumps from trees that were 200 years old. We got some great pictures of some extremely inspiring views. Today the studios are closed for the staff to work so many of us are going to head into Seattle and take in the sights and galleries. Mark may come after me for this but for those who know him he has not been wearing cowboy boots this trip. I'm still working on getting a picture for proof. I have really enjoyed getting the e-mails from everyone reading my blog. I appreciate all the encouraging words. Untill next time! Hope everyone has had a great weekend.
