Crit Night in the Studio

I got to the Studio in the late afternoon, prepared some refreshments, and did a little preliminary cutting on the new supermarket block. Did the outline first, and few pieces of white areas within. (I don't have a photo, but will try to post one later) At 7 pm I was a little concerned because no one had showed up for our monthly critique/discussion group, but within a few minutes Molly and Tim (one of our regulars) arrived. It looked like that was it, but just after we got started, two of Molly's former students arrived to bring the group to 5 members, plus one non-artist friend. The top photo shows the work from the whole group, the second featuring some custom made clothing items and the artist who created them. Since I didn't have any new prints ready since last month, I decided to show some of the recent charcoal drawings. This was a big surprise for Molly, who had never seen anything other than woodcut prints from me before. As always we had a lot of good discussions going over the course of the 3 hours. (we tried to keep it to 2 hours, but it always seems to go longer, because we're having too much fun) The next group meeting will be Wedneday, August 6, at 7 pm.
