Summer Camp


Day 3 of my 16 days in the metals studio at the Penland School of Craft. The days are long in the studio, and I've been getting up for 7am yoga (I know! Hardcore, people. Hardcore.) The school is nestled into the side of a steep hill in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The fog burns off quickly and the cicadas drone early.












The focus of the class is rings. I've been experimenting with texture and width so far and am really looking forward to expanding my stonesetting knowledge. One of these three rings will be going to my mom. I want her to guess which one. :)

Beautiful rings! It's so exciting that you're doing that. I've always wanted to take classes there in clay or textiles. It looks gorgeous there.
