your style in a comparatively small but significant way can bring new
energy and excitement to your work. This conference allows you to learn

artist will be demonstrating many ways to alter the form and surface
that will have you ready to get back to the studio to try out new ideas.

techniques and ideas with you over a two day conference. This conference
is open to artists at all levels: from enthusiastic amateur, to the
