Phots from Montana Workshop

The workshop was Sat. & Sun., July 1 & 2. It was a blast! We had six students - all women. As last year, everyone turned out fantastic work! It is so energizing to be around a group of creative people, and in such beautiful surroundings. The Bear Canyon School of Art & Craft is up in Bear Canyon, surrounded by rustling cottonwoods and mixed brush. There are also shrub alder, redbud dogwood, and other native plants, and a stream rushing by a few hundred feet from the school. We had respite from the 85 degree temps in Bozeman up in the canyon, and enjoyed light thunder showers both days.

Below is the group shot on our second day of the workshop. I'm on the right in the plaid shirt. Everyone is holding their pieces.















I've posted the photos from my Montana workshop on my Flickr photo album. Check them out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elderberrystudio/sets
I'll post later about my trip to Yellowstone on Friday, and upload those pics to Flickr as well. It was a great trip, and full of activity. I had a memorable time - and now it's back to work tomorrow!

Elise - yes, I was the instructor. This is the second year I've taught the mask-carving workshop in Bozeman. What amazes me is that people who've never worked with wood, or done any 3-d work before can turn out such fantastic work! Everyone spoke about going into 'Zen mode' while they were carving. That's definitely where I go...
