Studio Saturdays!

One of the things I learned from the Michaels Makers Summit is that I want to really buckle down and form a plan to get my work out there and that includes blogging consistently. I thought why not combine my love of teaching live with my blog and offer a monthly in studio session to just 5 people. The day long class will focus on projects that I feature each month....for example one month may be polymer clay. So that month on the blog I will feature projects, share tutorials, give tips and tricks on polymer clay and then for the live studio day you can come learn directly from me in a small intimate studio session. We will do live video during class so everyone can see the fun we are having and get everyone excited about the projects! The cost of the class will include all supplies and you will be included with pictures of your projects on my blog! How fun is that?!? 

I will put my project calendar out soon so watch this very blog for updates! 

And let me know your ideas and thoughts on what you want to learn! I want to share everything that's stuck in my crazy colorfilled mind! 

Happy Tuesday!

Michaels Makers Summit

I was one of the lucky 50 out of thousands of entries to win a spot at the Michaels Makers Summit at the Carmel Valley Ranch. When I won I thought oh no big deal ... until I got there.

Seriously

Come on! The venue was simply amazing. Breathtaking views at every turn of the 500 acre ranch. Truly a level of opulence I have never ever come close to experiencing.

Our first dinner was like everything else .... amazing. .... (I'm gonna say that world a lot)

cricket cut all of those beautiful placemats out of canvas. They were so beautiful with the natural colored tablecloths.

Sarah Michelle Gellar even joined us for dinner!

I also got to meet and take a little watercolor class with the world famous Jane Davenport! She's as talented as she is adorable!

Our second night dinner was in the Vineyard and was visually stunning and for me totally comfortable and relaxing. Some people had trouble with the logistics of it but overall it was completely amazing...there I go again. The menu was almost too good to be real. It was family style and just round after round after round of high quality immaculately prepared dishes.

And relaxing lounge areas to enjoy wine and conversation. 

My last day was spent just relaxing with my new friends enjoying the view while creating.

I formed some lifelong relationships, learned so much from the teachers and attendees and look forward to continuing to get to know these incredible humans! 

A HUGE thank you to Michaels and the team that made this all happen. I will never forget this experience and will forever be grateful for the opportunity that was....you guessed it.....AMAZING!!!!! 

Much Love....Kim
