Glass Craft and Bead Expo

We just returned from the Glass Craft and Bead Expo in Las Vegas at the South Point Hotel and Casino. Great place and great educational opportunity - I recommend it, even though the classes are expensive.

I took classes from Dan Jenkins (slip cast mold making), Petra and Wolfgang Kaiser (using Kaiser Lee Board for molds for fused glass) and Photopolymer Masking by Sharon and Barry Kaiser. All the classes were well organized and worthwhile. Now I need to lay in some new supplies so I can practice the techniques I learned.

Another note: I have finished some small clay sculptures that are part of my Whimsical Snapshots of Life on the Prairie series (first part of the series: small acrylic paintings). I plan to get some photos taken and posted here in May...or perhaps earlier.

I get to babysit our grand daughter, Brooke, for two weeks - she normally lives in Wichita but will be a North Dakota baby for a few weeks! Yay!
