Surfacing
I got my confirmation today (good thing I checked my spam!) for the Enamelist Society Conference. I’m totally stoked. I haven’t been to a cenference though I once took a pre-conference workshop A Thompson Enamel. I expect it to be inspiring and exciting. I adore the Bay Area and can’t wait to spend some more time there.
I’ve signed up for a workshop as well :) I’ve been inspired by recent Dr. Sketchy’s events to get back into figure drawing, a past love, and I can’t wait to learn a new technique to help translate the drawings to enamel. I’m certain Jessica Calderwood’s workshop will help lead me to the connection I seek.
