what a fantastic venue this was. portland is a great city. very artsy and very "green". we fell in love with it!
our classes were a huge success and here's a few examples of student's work.
from collage a' trois (our metal collage class)
from simple metal jewelry: bent beaded and balled
and simple metal jewelry: sawn tabbed and snagged (where the jewelers saw rocked)
our students used a torch to heat things up
but glenny brought our bartender Clifford into class with his accordion. he played a song as opie and glenny did a dance (wish I had that picture) then opie heated things up (sans torch) with his rendition of "Lady of Spain". it was wild!
in the city we actually discovered the horse of a different color
and everyone was ready to lend a helping hand
a visit to Powells book store was nirvana and the icing on the cake!
we can't wait to go back again next year. hope you can join us.
Great post!

What a blast your students must have had -cool artmaking and accordions, too! I'm so glad you enjoyed our fair city of Portlandia. Wow - imagine if Linda and Opie lived here - even more funtabulous art everywhere!!! Also, I really enjoyed seeing your studio in the CPS Studios edition, and I can't wait to see your Dada book!
