I took Marjorie Langston’s glass beadmaking classes at the John C. Campbell Folk School in western North Carolina. Yes, I could have stayed home all week and torched, but I would have had a multitude of distractions and no feedback. This way I learned new techniques, played with new ideas, fed off of my classmates’ work, and had a wonderful time (except for missing DH terribly, though we did talk twice a day). My classmates were, for the most part, wonderful women and we really did spend the week feeling family-ish.

Nothing here for the next week — I will be up at the John C. Campbell Folk School taking lampworking classes with Marjorie Langston. I promise a report when I return!
Hurrah! Exams are graded, grades are posted, I can spend the next 2 1/2 weeks NOT thinking about work. Well, I should write up my two-months-overdue annual report B.S. over the break, but I bet I don’t. That can wait until January.
Instead, I’m going to
- sleep
- catch up on my reading
- update Art of the Firebird, particularly the gallery area
- sleep
- get DH’s computers working properly
- melt a bunch of glass
- straighten out my studio
- sleep
- clean off my desk and office bookcase
- do some organizing and cleaning in the rest of the place
- oh, did I mention sleep?
