The ART Weekend.
Hell Yes. I spent three days last week {in case you were wondering where I’ve been – why no Friday Favorites post} stuffing my brain with art. Some of the classes I took were Letterpress, Illustrator, InDesign, Screenprinting and Digital Workflow for Photographers, just to name a few. Yup, I took full advantage of having all these talented artists and teachers in one spot. I am so lucky to have bosses who are flexible and took off a couple of days just for the classes. It. Was. Amazing.
The downside is that on the first day I forgot to bring my camera. The second day I brought my camera but forgot to charge my battery. I know, I know. So, I’ll just have to share with you a couple of photos from Letterpress and Screenprinting that were taken on my phone. Not so great, but you’ll get the idea.
Letterpress Class was taught by the oh-so-talented Jordan Ferney. She teaches other letterpress classes throughout the year at her studio {which she shares with her husband, artist Paul Ferney, who taught the oil painting class}. You should definitely take a class with Jordan if you’re interested in this medium.
Andy Cane is such a cool guy. He and his wife just moved from San Francisco to Oregon a couple weeks ago. They came back just to teach this class. How nice! He gave us detailed instructions and I even scored a screen after class so I can be on my way to screenprinting bliss. Again, if you ever see a class of his offered, take it. He is a true DIYer and has so much knowledge to share.
Thank you so much to Nicole for organizing the whole weekend. It was a lot of work for her and she did an amazing job {AND taught classes, by the way}. Oh, and the other two fabulous teachers that taught the Illustrator, PhotoShop, InDesign, Cartooning For Kids, etc. classes are the husband and wife duo Mike and Alma Loveland. I wish that I could have a special hotline to their home so that I could pick their brains about all of the software they know so much about. Mahalo to all of the teachers! ART Weekend rocked!!!
Hooray! I am so glad you posted about this. I REALLY wanted to go, but just didn’t have the $$$. It looks like a very kick a** event & I’m keeping my eyes out for its next incarnation.
JEALOUS!!! what a fun fun weekend!
