Jewelry class and the other things being juggled

Jewelry 1 GHS student's final piece

In an effort to bump up my skills in metal smithing I have enrolled again in an Arapahoe Community College. I am taking Randy Burn's Jewelry 3 class....since I took Jewelry 2 at Red Rocks - am going to try to do the level 2 projects with Randy. I teach High School Ceramics and Jewelry. While I am very confident of my beginning level skills, I am always looking for ways to help improve my students' skills in a logical and thorough manner.

Meanwhile - I am working ArtSource Professional Development in Feb or March and on Spring conference for CAEA on May14th.

I dropped off 5 plates for Pastor Jeff to see - It will be interesting to see if he likes any of them.

Window into the West Gallery at Streets of South Glenn requested more aspen leaves and hearts for Feb. I drove through snowy weather to deliver 15 leaves, 15 red hearts and 16 white hearts. Larry emailed to say 9 hearts sold the next day.

My youngest, Colin passed his driver's license test last Friday. Tonight he is talking to Hannah's manager at Fox and Hound about a job. Gareth decided to move out. Clare will be down this weekend from Ft Collin's for a wedding and then again on Tuesday to see the dentist. Michael was awarded a covered parking space at work for a month ( he got to use it a couple days last week when I had snow days). I have parent teacher conferences on Thursday.
