After an easy travel day, everyone arrived safe and sound. The weather and the Lake couldn’t be more beautiful and everyone is enjoying every second. Rosalie Dace did a spectacular presentation at our Welcome Dinner…we’re all going to South Africa to see her and work in her charming studio! And, we learned alot about the culture and history of where she lives…which inspires her spectacular work!
Velda did a painting demonstration today and then unveiled her 18′ Award Winning Zinnia quilt thanks to six very tall people standing on chairs to unfurl it…and then Sue Cavanaugh did a wonderful presentation on her Shibori techniques afterwards. After an exciting day, the students got treated to Laura Wasilowski’s singing presentation and then a mini-fusing workshop so that they could all become certified members of the Chicago Fusing Society.
More fun tomorrow!!
