Michael DeMeng Workshop

This past weekend was filled with an insurmountable amount of creativity as Michael deMeng, assemblage artist from Missoula, Montana, took center stage here in Saluda. 23 anxious and excited participants gathered together for a 2 day workshop with him to create a "mad alchemist cabinet". It was a work in progress as each person delved into their souls to capture their innermost thoughts for creating their piece.
Students came from Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, North and South Carolina, including the beach & the mountains, and... everywhere in between. I hope that all, or most of those moments are captured in this slide show & those of you that were here will see your faces, your feet AND your work and those of you that could not be here, will be wishing they were. LOL
All in all ------ great fun in our brand new work space/studio.
Thanks to all who helped pull it together and thanks to all of you who joined us here for our 4th annual Michael deMeng workshop in Saluda.

So, from BBQ on Thursday night with Michael to the final critiques, it's all here in living color...
Enjoy!

Traveling Journal Pages

Remember our Journal Challenge? Yes, we remember it too, and in order to stir up a little journal challenge excitement, we decided to take your submissions "on the road". All 3 boards traveled to Concord, NC and hung prominently in our booth for 3 days at Donna Downey's Inspired Artist retreat.
Each one was labeled with the names of the participants, identifying each work of art.
We were asked time and again if we were going to do that again... and the answer is YES!
This was so successful and gained so much attention nationwide that our plan to get these put into book form will take place within the next few weeks. With that comes the auction for Art for Life.
Be sure to stay posted on the auction dates so you can have your chance at bidding on this one of kind "traveling journal page" art book.
