I am off to Atlanta for the opening of a Polymer Retrospective Show (which features many pieces from my collection) this weekend. If you are in the area or a fan of last minute air fare deals- hope you can stop by.

“Barbara McGuire, Ellen Prophater Sue Southerland and the other ladies of Woman Creative – Art and Jewelry Design Center wish to invite you to join them at 115 East Main St., Suite A1B, Buford Georgia for the opening on April 8^th and 9^th of their historic exhibit “Polymer- From the Beginning.” This amazing collection exemplifies artwork using polymer from its inception as a valid art medium.  The concurrent opening of the gallery will feature art jewelry and small art objects from many notable polymer artists whose work will be found singularly at Woman Creative. Come celebrate with us and enjoy the beginning of this polymer centric enterprise that will inspire, educate and please you for years to come.”

My week on the Outer Banks was absolutely wonderful. It will take a long time to digest and process everything I learned. And what an incredibly talented group of artists is was= Leslie Blackford, Judy Belcher, Julie Piccarello,Tammy Honamann,  Sandra McCaw, Sara Shriver, Cynthia Tinapple, Robert  Dancik, Dayle Doroshow, Wendy Malinow, Seth Saverick and Jeff Dever.

I am very much looking forward to seeing how this experience enhances everyone’s future work.

Sandra McCaw (who is a very talented photographer) captured this picture of myself and Jeff Dever sharing samples from above.

My bags are packed and I am excited to be off  for  an adventure on The Outer Banks in North Carolina = a week of collaboration/pasta machine round table(s). I will in the company of a dozen  outstanding polymer clay artists and am looking forward to seeing just what evolves as we brainstorm together.

Over the years I have visited the Outer Banks over twenty times (first time= 1965), so it will be interesting to see how things have changed and  what has remained the same.
