What to Bring to a Workshop
Knowing what to bring to a workshop if you’re a first time participant can be a challenge. Today, I’m going to help you feel comfortable in what you are bringing, how much to bring, and what happens if you forget something.
WIP Wednesday: Parker Heaven

I’ve been SO busy in my studio lately that my posts here on the blog are falling a bit behind. How can you tell? Well, my WIP Wednesday post is going up today (Thursday) with yesterday’s post date. OOPS! That being said, my studio has been abuzz with Parker this week. My last Parker was adopted last week. I usually make about 2-4 dozen Parker’s at a time, so it was time for another run. This week however I’m back to tutorial creating, writing, & photographing.

What’s Going On Here?
It’s been a long few weeks here at KatersAcres … but good weeks! I spent the last week on vacation with my hubby visiting family, so most of these photos are actually from the week prior. It’s hard to clay on vacation, even though I really wanted to.

This spring I’ve been busily making some new canes to enjoy and be creative with. Canes are especially great when you’re trying to use up some scrap clay from different projects. All you need is some scrap clay and a few clever Skinner Blends and you can create so many awesome millefiori canes, (including butterfly wing canes); it’s truly amazing.

WIP Wednesday: Tutorials Galore!
As I looked back over the last several weeks, I realized that between Parker’s Clayful Tutorial Club, the blog, & Polyform, that I wrote 6 tutorials in the last 5 weeks. That’s more than one tutorial a week. It’s no wonder that I’m so exhausted!
