It was SO well organised by Sallianne and Lovely Linda that we were occupied the whole time.

We met each day at 8.45am for a group discussion, then off to class at 10am. Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea were arranged, and included, and class finished at 5 pm.
There were also various things arranged for the evening, but I only went to the Stencil Girl 'play' night where we had the chance to try out various stencils. Fun.
I chose to spend all four days with Seth Apter, who has been part of my blogging life for years.

This meant that I was to make a complete reconstructed book, a dossier, and 52 altered playing cards in these four days. Not bloody likely! But, as these were technique based workshops, we had plenty of practice at new stuff.
Needless to say all projects made good progress, but at a cost of taking photos. So, you will just have to wait until I have completed my work for these.
know what you mean about no time. Looking forward to your finished photos. You probably needed a few days to recover.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous time...
ReplyDeletejust read where Seth is back in NYC now...
what a great time you all must have had!
It will be fun to see your completed work when you're ready Jo
Lucky you...
oxo
Hi JM - looks like a lot of you enjoyed the creative experience with Seth - good to immerse in the creative inspiration of others now and then. B
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo jealous. Can't wait to see your finished/ not finished work.
ReplyDeleteBeht
Lucky you Jo!! And your happiness is shining through. I'm sure it will in your completed works too. Looking forward to seeing what you have done!
ReplyDeleteWe are anxious to see what you did and made, BUT we can definitely wait till the time is right and you are ready to show us your art. So glad you got to spend time with Seth. He has been a BIG influence in my artistic development, too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I simply ADORE, LOVE, COVET, ADMIRE your badge. I started one for my friend Sally, but never finished it, because she wanted hers to include her passport and photo ID.
Fun times. Yes, you do get caught up and the photos never quite show up. It's all good and you certainly look might happy hanging out with Seth. xox
ReplyDeleteFun for all you Aussie artists but looks like Seth had a blast too - his instagram photos were filled with fun places and activities. Looks like a good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to see what you have worked on since the retreat Jo. And thanks for being a part of such a unique and wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteNooooooooo. Always take photos or it didn't happen. Well, a minute by minute blog will have to do instead.
ReplyDeleteSo lucky you got to have 4 days with Seth... I know you had a wonderful workshop with him... he is such a good teacher and artist and nice guy... can't wait to see your future photos.
ReplyDeleteI love those photos of you and Sal and you and Seth!!! fabulous Jo!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! I wish they did something like this here in SC, USA.
ReplyDeleteJo - you talk about me getting around - look at who you have matched up with - I saw from Seth's Blog that he was down under and thought how much fun that would have been to connect!! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteI know you had a lovely time because I've had the pleasure of taking Seth's classes, too. Not to mention the alll out wonder of Art Is You in general. Thanks for the visit and lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteYou and Seth ... What a handsome pair!
