Hello Dear Art Lover
I’m a lumberjack..
And I don’t care…except I’m changing that to ‘ I’m Canadian and I do care!’ Of course I’m assuming you know that Monty Python sketch. Being snowed in and bombarded with all the world chaos is certainly uniting us somewhat less vocal Canadians to proudly wave our flag. I’m not buying anything made in that place south of our border. Yesterday I was trying to find out where some fruit came from in an online shopping platform and even phoned the head office for Metro grocers. I‘ll bet the guy who answered the phone was wishing he hadn’t after our 20 minute conversation. (LOL) Although he was very polite.
It’s been almost like a vacation as I haven’t been able to get to my studio this past week. We have street parking and that means being snowed in and not wanting to move the car from it’s spot for fear of losing the space. These are the joys of living in Toronto without a private driveway. Although I have been able to look after some long neglected projects. I’ve also decided to postpone my OPEN STUDIO event that was planned for Sun Feb 23. Not to worry though, because I’ve decided to make it even better. Stay tuned for the NEW DATE and some surprise bonuses.
In my recent newsletters, you’ve read that I’m a little obsessed with the Gelli Printing and have started workshops. Gelli printing is so accessible and easy. I supply everything you need. It requires no talent (honest) and you get to create something beautiful that seems to just magically happen. For me, art making gives me the opportunity to totally let go of whatever chaos and drama is happening and focus on play. If you need a space to forget your troubles, I encourage you to join a group of like minded people and come out for some fun. See the dates below for upcoming classes. I’m now calling my space GWA studio.
