Boise workshop was good
Noel Weber and John Studden did a great job with the Boise workshop. Each participant did 4 project pieces, and each project used different techniques. I was amazed how much we accomplished in 3 days. Only finishing touches are needed on three of my pieces. The fourth project will require more effort, but I feel good about what I brought home. It was a good group and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Here is the link to about 250 photos I took:

Thanks Russ
WOW! What a great looking group. There was a tremendous amount of talent there....and a lot of inspiration on the walls. Just one more thing to put on my "List of things to do".
What a thrill it must be to learn from the very best.

Thanks
Russ,
Thanks for the pics. Would love to have been there. I read an article in a 2003 Sign Builder mag that mentioned John Studden's loose leaf "tear and slap" method of applying loose leaf to glass. Tried it, but couldn't get it right. Your sequential pics of John doing his magic was like a private lesson. Went and tried it just now. Got it right thanks to your pics. This type of pic set is invaluable to those of us that can't make it to these type of terrific events. Going out to my little practice room and trying the reverse sponge blends now. Special thanks to the do'ers in the pics.
Thanks again.

How big is Classic Design Studio?...

It's so big, that they have a 240 sq.ft. room for the sink! Wow what a great facility for doin' whatever would come to mind. I'd be tempted to board up the front windows and doors, and come in the back and play all day....everyday.
What a great workshop! Wow! When you take it, be prepared to work! There ain't no slack time. A new demo happened about every hour. How the true masters do it. I know I added many interesting tricks and techniques that will aid my work! For a novice or intermediate, the amount of information could be overwhelming, but it's well paced and time is alloted to execute each new treatment to get hands on experience. Whether up in Boise or down in Valencia, anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of this craft, should take this wonderful workshop.
Thanks Noel & John!! See you guys soon!

Sorry I missed it.
I'm sorry I had to miss it. It looks to have been a great experience. Thanks for documenting it Russ. Great pics. 

I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.
