\"Julie,<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been looking forward to this week for about six months. The four of us, Julie Eakes<\/a>, Meisha Barbee<\/a>, and Laurie Prophater<\/a> planned to meet at my home studio and just sit and clay for a week. Then Studio 215 happened and the timing was right for one of this talented group of artists to teach a class at my new studio. Polyform<\/a>\u00a0Products provided Premo clay and we were set. Thank you Iris Weiss and Polyform Products\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Meisha said yes and taught a full house this past week-end and Julie and Laurie have agreed to teach in the future. Happily that means another trip to Florida.<\/p>\n

In the photo above you see us in my studio at home claying away. We didn’t leave the house that day.<\/p>\n

But it was on to Studio 215 the next day to get ready for Meisha’s workshop.<\/p>\n

These were just some of the beautiful samples Meisha had on display, forgive the photography, I’m responsible.<\/p>\n

Below are the finished piece created by a very talented group of students.<\/p>\n

Everyone had a great time, learned a lot and went home ready to explore these skills a bit more. Just take a look at these happy faces. Meisha is an excellent teacher, everyone agreed.<\/p>\n

\"Meisha<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you tell that we laughed quite a bit? I just loved having everyone here.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to say that I now have work for purchase at Studio 215 from Meisha, Julie, and Laurie. \u00a0Here are just a few samples. I don’t think they’ll last long.<\/p>\n

The next day found Julie, Meisha and me at the Ringling Museum of Art. We toured Ca’d’Zan the mansion and the museum and then jumped over to St. Armands Key to put our feet in the sand. Laurie had left us by then and we missed her smiling face.<\/p>\n

\"Julie,<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a great time but we weren’t very popular on Facebook when Julie posted this picture. \u00a0(notice the people in bathing suits in the back ground) Cold times up north…sorry guys.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone for making this a happy week at Studio 215 and beyond.<\/p>\n
