Gathering Grace on Altered Wings

Date: January 9 &10, 2016
Place: Altered Wing
Time: 9:30 – 4:30 each day
Cost: $200.00 for both days

Join Roxanne Evans Stout and Lorri Scott and add a burst of color to your winter.

Learn botanical and rust dye printing with Lorri Scott.  If weather permits we will go outside to gather nature but if we can’t do that Lorri and Roxanne will bring a variety of things from leaves and flowers to twigs and seed pods.

We will take our dyed fabrics and papers and combine them with our nature finds to create collages and compose your own Gathering Grace booklet.

The closer we observe nature and hold gratitude for our surroundings the more creative energy thrives and we realize is an important way to grace our lives.

Come explore and create your grace with us.

NEW PLACES

Moving the studio is exhausting.  Every muscle hurts, my back is out of place...my husband is moaning and groaning every time he moves and I have a feeling the other ladies are feeling the same way. It's hard work.  We are not even half way done...but it's pure bliss. It really is....dreaming, planning and growing. We have been blessed.  We work hard and create hard. We are three years old. I can't believe it...I think back to a few conversations I had with friends who thought we would never make it...I'm glad we didn't let those words direct the path of Altered Wing.

As with any good thing there are challenges, frustrations, hurt feelings, struggles, personality conflicts and many other things that accompany 6 creative women in the same space...But....But...there is laughter, tears, hugs, adventures, sharing grief, soda runs, Chinese food runs, Mexican food runs, out of town show fun, hotel antics, texting marathons, iMessage jib jab videos, secret giggles, pet names and the truth be known...lots of love.  We don't live our lives the same, we don't all share the same faith, we don't create the same or even like each other at times. But there is a common bond somehow that weaves itself between us. We love each other and I am thankful for each of the 6 women that share this space and the 2 that are joining us...
Thankful, so thankful.
