Would You...

I was conversing with Kate McKinnon and threw out the idea of teaching a workshop together in the winter. The workshop would be broken down into three sections. The first section would be devoted to collage and creating personal imagery. The second section would be focused on metal clay. The third section would be about bridging the first two sections together. I think this could be a lot of fun and would be a great way to pick both of our brains. This is all hypothetical at this stage, but I wanted to see if there would be any interest for something like this. Most likely this would happen in Tucson, so I could escape the frozen north.

Kate's reputation as a teacher is indisputable and her working knowledge of the metal clay is proficient, educated, and thoughtful. I could go on and on about her experience, credentials, and expertise, but you're probably well aware of her career already. You might be wondering though what I might bring to the table. I've had years of experience creating, showing and selling my collages and paintings. My work can be found in private collections around the globe. I went to a prestigious art college in New York City and participated in several summer residency programs where I worked closely with some of the top names in the fine art world. I had the honor of studying with Cheryl Donegan, Tobi Kahn, Victoria Kann, Lynda Benglis, Sue Williams, Danica Phelps, Nancy Chunn, Stephen Westfall, and several other successful professional fine artists. I can offer invaluable resource lists for a variety of art supplies and materials like paint, adhesives, archiving products, and papers. I can even show you how to make some of your own. When I talk about collage, please erase the idea of dunce caps and scrap-booking ephemera. The collage section will focus on creating unique and personalized imagery specific to each individual artist. I've got a big bag of tricks and several techniques up my sleeve.

So... do you think that this is something you'd be interested in taking?
