![]() So how do you like the view from my office? :0) Just spend the last two weekends on the beach in Harrison Hot Springs B.C. at the 35th Arts Festival. What glorious weather both weekends, which if you live on the West Coast like we do is very rare. It was wonderful to meet so many great people that came over to talk to me about my Art & Sculpture. Many pieces have gone to their forever homes, like fish, shore birds and some rock art. Some more ladies will be joining my class on Saturday, looking forward to it. Gwen a fellow gourd artist will be joining me, I look forward to sharing with a fellow Gourd head,there isn't many of us here in B.C. you know. Now for a well deserved rest and maybe play with my new sculpture. Cheers! ![]() Looking forward to meeting lots of new people that would like to learn how to create garden art and other sculptures in the West Abbotsford/Aldergrove area We will be at this wonderful market on the following days Saturdays Market May 25 / June 22 / July 27/ Aug 10 / Sept 28th The market is downtown Abbotsford on Montrose Ave at George Ferguson Way 9:00-1:00 Wednesday Market June 12 / July 17 / Aug 14 / Aug 28 / Sept 18 Thunderbird Civic Plaza behind the Abbotsford City Hall 4:00 pm-7 pm ![]() West Abbotsford/Aldergrove Area I am very excited about this drop in studio On rainy days we will work inside and on nice sunny days we can work in a pretty garden Starting this spring monthly drop in sessions will begin A place to make new friends, share ideas, tips and your passion Drop ins are for those who have taken a class or two and are working on something similar to what they have made in class.

I am now posting pictures that students are sending me with their finishing touches they have added to their class projects. You will find them along side of your class pics. Check it out, soon to follow is your own page of sculptures and related art work that you carry on making on you own. Coming Soon! ![]() TIP I have found the best way to store your sealed containers of Powertex is upside down so that when you go to use it, it will be easier to stir. Powertex will have settled in shipping and storage. Before using you must make sure that it is stirred well and that all the thick hardeners are stirred back into the mix from the bottom of the container. I have found that simply shaking the bottle is not enough. Open the bottle take a long piece of doweling and stir all the thick content from the bottom, this will take a few minutes once you are satisfied that the thick mass is incorporated back into the mix, seal the bottle again carefully and shake well. Don't forget to shake the bottle periodically while working on your project. |
Phyllis SabeanI love coaching others to become their creative self. It is so exciting to watch eyes light up when they make something in one of my classes. It takes courage to leave your comfort zone, I know, I do it everyday. So come on out on that limb with me, trust me the view is grand... ART is the only Archives
