Teaching My First Ceramics Class
How It All Began Teaching my first Ceramics class was a sudden thing. Last January, on a whim, I bought a kiln. I taught a Drawing class, and then a Painting class at the high school homeschool co-op during the 2022-2023 school year. Teaching Ceramics seemed like a good idea for the 2023-2024 Continue Reading
How to Make a Resin Necklace
Do you know how to make a resin necklace? It is easier (and cheaper) than you think. I belong to a local art association.

July's red, white, and blue embellishments do not pair well with back to Continue Reading
Our Day Trip to the Sistine Chapel Exhibition in Charleston
Our Day Trip to the Sistine Chapel Exhibition in Charleston was a great time for making memories with our children. I missed the Van Gogh exhibition (from July to September 2022) and didn't want to miss out on Michelangelo's masterpiece exhibition. When our kids were younger, we spent most of Continue Reading
The Inspiration for Three Groovy Retro Paintings
The inspiration for three groovy retro paintings came from my daughter, Margaret. She graduated with her bachelor's degree in May, and wanted to upgrade her apartment for graduate school. Her lookbook photos were suprisingly 1970s. In the end, we went with persimmon instead of burnt orange- because Continue Reading
