Workshop Fun

Here are a couple of pieces that I started at my workshop at The Pottery Studio in Orlando. I just finished them today in my studio. In class, we were playing with doing both faces and landscapes on mixed media collage. I also took some photos of the class working easy and playing hard. I can't wait to see what happens!!
