All, Last week I attempted to send on the wonderful
workshops we have here in Tucson. For some reason only a small part
of the post actually got printed. Hanuman apologised. I left for a
trip to New England the next day (to get my annual fix of Fall
foliage and to see family) and now I’m back to try again. FYI The
Arizona Designer Craftsmen offer a number of 2 day workshops each
year. ADC workshops get support from the city of Tucson and the
state of Arizona, making the workshops very affordable. They are
open to everyone. Many of our talented Orchid members have given
workshops through this program. I thought I would share a few of
our upcoming Artists with this forum.

Dawn Nakanishi, an internationally known California Bay area artist,
will present a lecture covering traditional Japanese design motifs
inspired by natural forms in all stages-beginning, growth, and decay
as well as a hands-on expoloration of a number of surface design
embellishments. These techniques include the use of hydraulic
press, rolling mill, sand blaster, keum boo, etc.

I will give more info on the workshops as they become more date
sensitive. All workshops are held in Tucson, AZ. For more

Note that the Michael Boyd and Charles Lewton-Brain workshops are
being held during the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. You could take a
class, see the show and come to the Orchid Dinner in the same
trip!!!
