6/9/2018 0 Comments It's that time of year againTime gets away from me and before I know it I've missed a whole month of updating. I'm taking some second hand advice and skipping the feeling guilty about the laps and getting back on track with new energy. It's been a slam packed month or so, here's what I've been up to. It's been a haze of loaded to do lists and filled appointment book pages. I"m loving the momentum (in between stopping briefy here and there to catch my breath) and want to keep it going once the school schdule slows down a little. The last three years at Artspace we have put together a large scale Musical Theatre Production. I've put in time for these performances creating sets and costuming and this year is an exciting production. It's an original piece created by the Instructor and the Musical Theatre students. I've included some of the play's set and prop list in my classes this term and last term so that the production features not only the performing arts students but also the visual arts and preschool arts students as well. I'm in the last stages of creating the projected pieces that will be onscreen during the performance next weekend. This year I built a newscamera and laptop, neckties, one eyed alien king, lackey and dog headpieces and robot masks with a campfire costume and the screen projections mentioned above. It's a lot of work and I love to do it. On top of the Musical Theatre tasks I volunteered myself to help out with my two small one's school yearbook. I spent a goodd ten hours working on three class layouts. I've also had school workshops on the schedule with more upcoming in the next two weeks. Add to that extra time at Muckabout during the Bee season (it's new Nuc time and many dozens of new bee colonies arrived at Muckabout's partner business BC Bee Supplies last month. The Bees are out and foraging, new hives and queens have been installed and going in and making sure all is well with my hive has been added to my biweekly schedule. I included some furniture painting in there with an ombre finish sideboard and a nautical themed side table. I began cutting my own stencils for FAT Paint projects and made a handful of new signs with those and have sourced more wood slices for my snarky magnets as they are finding new homes quickly. My class schedules are woefully out of date in the calendar. The lessons have been listed are still in effect and you can contact Muckabout to schedule the specialty classes like Stamp carving and Bookbinding to suit your schedule adding a comment ontheir contact page with the class you are interested in. I am looking at some restructuring and class building in my schedule for the summer and autumn months and will update them here as soon as they are finalized with Artspace and Muckabout. I have two weeks blocked off for summer camps at Artspace and drop in programming at Muckabout and hiping to get in soe much needed time in the studio soon. I'm currently working on a shoe dotting class with the DIY Mandela Tools and have some other stand alone workshops in the planning stages . While I'm in the headspace of class building please let me know in the comments what type of programming you'd like to see me do.
