We had so much fun in the studio on Saturday for the second of my art workshops at Morningstar studio. Five wonderful women joined me on a sunny Saturday to draw and print fall leaves from my field and garden. I loved it when they said ‘This is so much fun,” or “I can’t believe I drew that.”
My Bernini Italian etching press was in full use as these women who hadn’t printed before, created beautiful monoprints, each using a different combination of plant species and compositions that were lyrical and and dynamic.
We had a warm and nourishing lunch inside my house, although it was hard to pry women from our warm fireplace in the kitchen, we enjoyed lentil soup, pumpkin bread from local pumpkins and waldorf salad using apples from Peachtree orchards.
I am trying to figure out how to squeeze another workshop in a very busy December, I can’t seem to find a weekend when my studio isn’t scheduled to be open for the Countryside Artisans Studio Tour, or my house isn’t in full holiday party mode. Maybe a Friday night, or a weekday night? I have to admit I have as much fun as the women who show up to make art.
