TSKW

Yesterday, I mentioned that I went to Key West to teach a mosaic workshop at the Studios at Key West (http://www.tskw.org/). It's located on White Street, in a building that used to be the old armory. The building has space for exhibitions, classes, and all kinds of special events, many of which are open for free to the community. I was welcomed by the dedicated staff, and had a class of 11 wonderful women, many of whom are already artists in their own right. Above, you can see a before and after shot of one the projects.

Key West - Round 2

Just got back last night from a fantastic week in Key West, Florida. For those of you who have been, you know it's pretty hard for a stay there to be anything but fantastic. We stayed at our usual spot, Courtney's Place ( http://www.courtneysplacekeywest.com/) which I highly recommend - but not if your idea of vacation is staying at the Hilton. Their slogan is "stay in Key West like a native", and that's a pretty accurate description. Friendly staff, close enough to walk to everything in old town, relaxed and casual atmosphere. Here's a shot of the main courtyard, around which all the cottages are located.

While I was there, I was fortunate enough to spend three days teaching a mosaic workshop at the Studios of Key West. More about that later!
