It had been 33 1/2 years since I had attended University at one of those schools where the fundamentals were not taught.Luckily the Univ. of Utah has a fine foundations series of classes we all had to take and I really learned that I could continue to learn!!! I have wanted to attend an atelier to keep the skills up and learn even more and at 58 I am going to do that sometime in the next year or so...it will be time well used. I am determined to keep doing and learning. I may never be a master but I love to learn. So don't set the barrier up....you have a long time to learn!The workshops can be a great way to get the juices flowing!Long life and learning to youKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096142183312311738.post-9907865360753161152011-03-04T09:39:46.385-05:002011-03-04T09:39:46.385-05:00Get two bones for yourself, you deserve them.

Every artist has something different to offer along your personal creative path. An old quote ... When the student is ready, the master will appear. Enjoyed seeing you at Champagne Thursday.Jennifer Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708453942225373936noreply@blogger.com
