Sewing up 2018

A big hug of gratitude to everyone who made it to Canmore for the Artists of Elk Run Open Studio Tour. The word on the street was that everyone was having a fantastic time. With glass blowing, pottery, art and sculpting demos, there was a peak into every artist's process and so much more. The weekend offered a bevy of opportunities to see, explore and connect. Those who visited Saturday were even honored to see his honor the mayor of Canmore John Borrowman throwing in his former (now his daughter's) Pottery Studio, Of Cabbages & Kings.

While the weekend flew by, every moment was deeply memorable and so much fun.

As Peig Abbott Sculpture's guest artist, I spent my days meeting locals, visitors, catching up with some of you, rubbing elbows with exceptional Bow Valley talent and talking art. It was brilliant. If that weren't enough, the reception to my work itself? Well, it simply blew me away. Plenty of kind words, positive feedback and many interesting discussions with fellow Bird Nerds. I loved every minute of it!

Who knew there were so many of us lovely nerds out there!?!

At the moment, I am back in the reality of my studio with a warm cup of tea (coffee is my morning meditation) and the smell of warmed wax in the air. The work goes on, while the memories of the Open Studio Tour are clear and just as warming as the cup in my hand.
