The final day. Thank heavens. My hands are sore, my back is stiff and I’m ready to move on. But that said, it was worth every second. My husband often says that the biggest compliment I ever allow myself is “I’m not dissatisfied.” Today I told Ivan, our teacher (I took to calling him sensei […]

Today I reinforced the bendier bits and across the shoulders and arms and into the hands. A long length of rebar was placed and fastened in the middle […]

This year the group was markedly reduced due to Covid restrictions and I was happy score a place.

…or How to Stuff a Salmon. Last weekend my neighbour Gail and I went to check out the concrete sculptures at Cosby’s Garden Centre. In the winter they convert the greenhouse to a studio and offer concrete sculpture workshops and we checked that out too. I was pleased to find my friend Deb working diligently […]
