Earlier this month, I taught a very special workshop at Art is You in Stamford, Connecticut. I spent 3 days with 20 creative souls, each of whom made their own Library of Memories. I will share more details about and images from the class in an upcoming blog post. For now, here are some details from their pieces in progress:
Day 1 started with a very special adventure: 50+ artists attending the retreat along with a small group of instructors headed into New York City for a day of shopping and inspiration.

First stop: Grand Central Station

Pit stop at Bryant Park
Back to shopping at Metalliferous, with hundreds of these bins filled with metal findings

What a fine post!
You are a blessed art teacher = )
Thanks for the mini tour! Wasn't aware of a few of those stores and will definitely visit them next trip to NYC. What a lucky class to have such a great teacher. Enjoy!
WOW! This is great. The best part is everyone looks like they are having a fantastic time. Learning + Fun = Creativity. And it shows! Have a great weekend.
Awe! There is certainly a lot more to your show and tell!
This trip must have been a lot of fun for the students. All the shops you visited in NY sound/look very tempting but I think my favorite would have been Metalliferous.
Too much wonderfulness for one post!

Wowee! It looks like you've got some very talented and fun students. You lucky, you!
