This morning we placed "Iron Woman" in the Elora Sculpture Garden. Dave has made a new stand for it, looks good. I shall post a new image.
So if you visit in Elora look for Iron Woman, No. 3 on the list.

This month I have taken 2 workshops in Waterloo, one in Image Transfer and one for Making and Using Paper clay. What I learned will be useful for my work. Paper clay can be built up in stages, is much lighter, also can be used for wall pieces or tall skinny sculptures without armatures.
These workshops are held at the Glass and Clay Gallery, the test pieces we do are fired and glazed there, a great place to learn.

Last Sunday we were invited by The Art Gallery of Mississauga to visit Art Toronto as part of our Artist Professional Practice course. Tickets were reserved for us, we had a chance to see what galleries were doing and showing. Very interesting!
One more show at the Wellington Artists Gallery, "Deck the Walls" from October 30 -- November10.

Last Tuesday I started my 1. session of this program at the Mississauga Art Gallery. It will continue for 10 weeks, each week on a different topic. this week it was Present Yourself, Who am I? SoJin Chun, an artist and educator at gallery 44 gave us hints on writing an Artists statement and Proposal.
