Get Creative!

2012 was a fun year. A very fun year! 
I launched my e-course and had the most amazing experience of meeting, teaching and interacting with a virtual class, from all over the world, of 139 students.  I traveled to many wonderful locations and taught workshops at places that, I never in my wildest dreams, thought I'd be invited to teach at.  Then there was Creativebug.  This new start up company in San Francisco, brainchild of the the enthusiastic and effervescent Jeanne Lewis and her fabulous creative team,  offering a smorgasbord of craft and art classes, online, via a monthly subscription, Not only does Creativebug offer an amazing array of classes, a part of their profit is donated to non-profit art organizations.  An all you can make smorgasbord while giving back! 
I spent a couple of weeks filming with the talented, fun, kind, interesting and goofy film crew from Creativebug and got a wee sense of what it feels like to be Martha Stewart.  A beautiful trailer was made about little ol' me.  Classes to make handmade clay spoons, driftwood mobiles, the ever elusive Mishima technique and most recently, printed ceramics with your own carved rubber blocks, stream, effortlessly in sections that let you keep pace of what is being taught, along with plenty of close up shots so you can see how things are done. I know, you're dying to watch them yourself to see (and learn how) to make all these fun things. Well, it's easy. You can do it two ways. One way is to sign up for Creativebug's monthly membership, which will get you into ALL the classes. So you can get your sew, knitting, bookmaking, soap making, felting AND clay on.
 Or you can do it A' La Carte style and just take the class you want.

Sign up here for the monthly subscribtions.
And if you'd like to only to take my individual classes, here are direct links to mine.

Painting Rocks With Louie


There is a sweet video up on Creativebug of me painting rocks  along with my dog Louie being cute.  
If you ask me, Louie steals the show!
 
This is how you paint rocks with a dog in your lap
Also, Creativebug will be adding my  new "Printed Ceramics" online workshop on January 24th. If you haven't already seen my Mishima, Clay Spoons and Driftwood Mobile workshops, sign up to watch them here


If you'd like purchase my painted stones (and clay scoops) you can do so here at my new rock shop, Stone & Clay. Sorry, the dog is not for sale. ; )

My Creativebug Workshops Are Here!

Check out my latest workshop collaboration with Creativebug! I had so much fun filming these workshops for them even though they made me say my lines over and over again until I got it right.
