This spring is loaded with NEWness. New studio, new storefront, new art classes in my new studio, New wholesale customers.  All new, yet based on a lifetime of learning. Today is my very first Art Class in my New Studio. There may or may not be any students  - but it marks my first class. I have thought there is a teacher for every student. I myself never felt as if I had a real mentor. It is something I had missed. I don’t know why that is. I was recently asked to be a mentor to a young women I have know for her whole life. As I realized what that meant, I also realized I had never had one. So, my hopes for these classes, include the sense that I can be a mentor.   Creating a curriculum based on experience coupled with intuition, I think the path is set. I really hope someone comes to my class today, but if not today, then I hope those who are thinking about coming, know that I will be upstairs in my studio every Tuesday from 3:30 pm to 6, and every Saturday from 9:30 am ’til noon.  And at the end of each class, you do not need to run out..  You can stay and work for a while.
