| close-up of one of Stephanie's original she shared with class! |
Friday workshop was all about plaster, POP(plaster of paris), compound joint and plaster gauze. I have been excited about this class since I got the book
Plaster Studio by
Stephanie Lee &
Judy Wise. As I handed my book to
Stephanie to sign, she shared the surprise of the day with us that we get not only her knowledge, but that of
Judy Wise. That alone set the mood even more higher.
I remember the first original I bought at vendors night of my first artfest was by
Judy and here is another full circle feeling of meeting her at the last artfest as in Lynne Perella's...WOW!

| 1st artfest purchase of original by Judy! |
The work shop was called "Plaster Sampler" and I kid you not,
Stephanie made sure we got all the techniques. The were times I was overwhelmed with all the these techniques and trying to digest and chew the process. I love the extensive info of the wonderful things you could do with plaster, but lack of time to process them is what frustrated me to an extent!

I end up with many surface treatments sampler and I will be finishing up the process in the future. I did managed to get three surfaces decently finished.

Today was not a day to stay late in class, for it is vendor night and I am vending and need to setup. I quickly packed up and was ready to leave by end of workshop, but it won't be complete without candid cam with my two lovely instructors!!!
I was a nervous wreck and had this knot in my stomach about vending. This feeling did subsides a bit when I found out my cuff in the open gallery at the commons sold. This gave me the boost that I so needed!

Annie Hooten was God sent, she is one of the most giving person I know, first for hosting the charm swap...and then offering to assist me during vending...I am so grateful for your help...I <3 ANNIE!.

Until next posting, stay tuned for workshop day 3...Santos is the word!

So do you plan on working with plaster more? I really enjoyed the hands-on experimentation, but really want to dig in more. Good thing I have the book too. :)
Your samples look great. I wish I had taken the plaster class, as well as a few others but then Art Fest would have had to have been at least a week long!
Nice sample works and finished ones too! Must have been great - and now you get to do the coloring and processing of those plaster pieces - lots of fun! Great to hear about Vendor night - would like to see more of what you sold. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! I still haven't blogged about Artfest or posted photos of my own work, closeup. I will. Neat to see everyone's experiences blogged! :)
Your work looks amazing... i'm going to have to get a copy of that book! I saw some work from that class at the show and tell, and was sorry i missed it. And I couldn't even get close to your booth at vendor night because of the crowds around you. I'm sure your stuff was fantastic.
I plan on incorporate into my printmaking...shall see where it takes me!
I agree, Artfest should be a week long or longer... You should look into Stephanie's book!
Janet, I am trying so hard to make time to have fun with all the surface textures I did!
Angela, I will be on the lookout for your blogging!
Marianne, you should look into Stephanie's book. It covers lots of the stuff we did in class. It is a great resource book!
