Open Studio Success - and FIRST Sea Grant Work Showing!

I'm so proud of my Open Studio showing this year at Erector Square last month.  I had a great response to my work, and it was invigorating to have so many people viewing and commenting on my pieces.  Thank you to all of my studio guests, and thank you to Artspace New Haven for a great event this year!  

Here are some photos, in no particular order, of the event (pictured are my studio space, some of my guests, and the outside of the Erector Square complex:

I had such a good time over the weekend!  My Circle Weave Weekend Workshop at Guilford Art Center in Guilford, Connecticut was a wonderful success.  Everyone had a great time and my students created some really great weaving!
