I think Joanne started the argument by claiming her breakout session was the best on Saturday morning, of course, Lin, Annemarie and I all thought ours was the best. I had just come out of Dan Dicaprio's session on techniques for using wood in jewelry designs, surely nothing could be better. However, after taking Ken Bova's session on grinding minerals to create your own colored pigments with recipes on how to use the pigments in various applications, I was just as ready to believe Ken's session was equal to Dan's session. Surely, the best was passed and Sunday could just be expected to be okay.
Sunday brought equally wonderful sessions by Tom Muir on how to constuct catches and Mi Sook Hur gave us instruction in four different mold processes in just two hours.
Of course I could not take advantage of all that was offered, Joanne can tell you about Michael Bernard's Power Coating and Lin and Annemarie can share Lisa Johnson's Found Objects in Cast Porcelain.

The ECU metals students are to be congratulated on putting together and outstanding symposium. They have poise and grace beyond their years.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful and informative symposium. I learned so much and want to try out some of the new techniques. I know Dianne won't be at the February meeting (How did she talk me into taking minutes?) but those of us who went will want to share what we learned.
ReplyDeleteBecause she is good...
ReplyDeleteBut I am sharing on the blog: First my notes from Dan's session. Thanks, Dan for giving me permission to post my notes. See Dan Dicapiro Page on blog.
I have just added a page about Ken Bova's session on creating your own pigments from minerals and applications in egg-tempera.

Thanks, Dianne, for sharing your notes on Dan and Ken Bova's sessions. I actually learned a very useful tip from Mike Dale Bernard's lecture Sunday afternoon that everyone but me missed. I'll post after the February 5th meeting so I'll have something neat to share at the meeting. (All the metals students gasped when they heard it - "What did you say?".)
