The International Association of Pastel Societies biannual convention
is the first week of June, 2017... and I'll be there!!
I'm thrilled to say that I will be one of the workshop instructors next
year! I have a one-day workshop on June 7th, and a demo on the 9th.
What's important right now is that the IAPS Pastel Convention
Registration Opens October 11, 2016 at 12:00 noon ET (That's 11:00am
Central Time!)
Historically, many of the convention classes fill up very quickly, so
get all your ducks in a row and be at your computer on the morning of
the 11th of October, ready to sign up for my workshop and demo! (or
your selection of other favorites...)
Browse all the selections on the IAPS Website Convention Pages now!

Pablo Picasso is said to have had at least seven major periods.
It's estimated he made over 1,885 paintings, 1,228 sculptures, 2,880
ceramics, 18,095 engravings, 6,112 lithographs, 3,181 linocuts, 7,089
drawings plus 4,669 drawings and sketches in 149 notebooks, 11
tapestries and 8 rugs. "What one does is what counts," said Picasso,
"not what one had the intention of doing."
