A couple of weeks ago Annette Gomez hosted a 2 day workshop in her wonderful studio in Carlsbad. We harvested a bunch of treasures in her parents garden and her own and bought some beautiful flowers and textures at Mayesh. Earlier that week I had shipped a box of bark and mosses, foraged on the property of my friend Linda here in Portland.

A very enthusiastic group of students attended and created beautiful woodland centerpiece, framed woodlands, jewelry and small hairpieces.

We all appreciated the wonderful food that had been prepared by Lauren: delicious breakfast treats, lunch and the best cookies for an afternoon snack.

Many thanks to Suzanne, who documented the workshop perfectly during the 2 days that she spent with us all.

And much gratitude to Annette, who took care of every possible detail to make the workshop a memorable experience for everyone!
