Dennis Meiners' Workshop at Hummingbird July 22-24, 2006
"I learned some things that have inspired me to get out the clay and explore and let the ideas unfold." Forrest from Portland
Dear Dennis and Leslie,
I want to thank you for a wonderful time and a workshop that I think will inspire new directions in my work. Dennis, I appreciate your willingness to share your techniques, philosophy, and methods that have taken you so long to discover and make your own. Leslie, you made me feel comfortable and welcome, and served great food! I hope to come again for future workshops...
Patrick
Hi Leslie and Dennis,
Just a quick note to say that we really enjoyed the weekend and although it was a bummer to have to leave early, we came away with a lot of great memories and inspirations for explorations in clay and art. We're going to set up a permanent spot in the basement to do slab lobbing so when the muse strikes we'll be ready. Our drive home was interesting in a new way, we saw all kinds of textures, our new word for road cut. Even the wooded hillsides seemed to take on new dimensions..." Forrest and Sandy
