There were so many great classes to choose from at this year's Artfest, but I've had metal on my mind recently.
Day One I took
Richard Salley's Etched Copper Letter Opener class. I really enjoyed working with the copper and Fauxbone.
Days Two and Three I was in
Keith Lo Bue's Lasting Impression class where I learned several techniques for etching metal.
That and many other techniques and skills that I will use again and again.
I feel like I've come home with a great arsenal of tricks and techniques.
And I look forward to getting back in my studio and creating!
