Due to events beyond my control, I was unfortunately unable to attend the Maine Crafts Association workshop weekend at Haystack Mountain School of Craft…bummer! I had planned to assist Jason Green with his workshop there, which I am sure would have been a great experience. I think it is so very important to continue to challenge one’s self as an artist. The flow of ideas created in workshop settings is an invaluable tool to any craftsperson.

However, even though I am unable to attend the workshop, I am still making a contribution to the fund raising auction that will be held at haystack during the weekend. Organizations like Haystack and the Maine Crafts Association rely heavily on donations made by individuals in the community as well as help from craftspeople and artists. Here is a picture of the sweet pot I sent to Haystack for the auction. Let’s all do what we can to help out those organizations which provide such great opportunities to both the community and artists!
