and came home with lots of new friends. Thanks to everyone for helping
a
"newbie", especially those poor souls sitting around me … You've got
me hooked on clay, so I will see you all next year.”
“Thanks to the
organizers (Heidi,
Anne, Mona and Syd) Good job!! I will try to find a clay club in my

join to keep up all the stuff I learned last week. Again--thanks and
see you
all next year”. Susan Z. Harrisburg, PA

come back down to
earth!!! I truly enjoyed each and every one of you and hope to get to

they put
together - thank you all so much!”.

Ann, Heidi, and Syd - thank you all for all

had to miss a few, but my brain was on overload! You guys are the
BEST!” Ilene

“Well, I had a great week with all
of you! Got a
loving reception from my little family and part of their greeting was
"Let's see what you made!" And between what I made and my new
treasures, they weren't disappointed. I also feel like I've got some
new best
friends! Hope everyone had smooth trips home! Love you all!”

“Whahooo!! What a grand time I had.
It was great seeing
old friends and making new ones. The classes were marvelous and the
demos were
just grand. So much inspiration and energy to draw from. Thank you Mona
&
team for a job well done. Now back to the real world, The Man has plans
for me
today of garden-planting & mowing. Hope to see you all next
year".
Hazel K. Kingsley, PA
“The
people at the mixed media retreat are all
incredibly talented and the variety of skills was amazing.There were
dollmakers,
paper and fiber
artists, polymer clayers and beaders.It
was really cool to see everyone’s work, their stuff for sale and what
they were
working on.This
was a *really* great
group of people to kick loose with and I’ll never forget it. The
authenticity,
hilarious shenanigans, incredible demos and classes, generosity and
interesting
conversations will remain in my memory as one of the really special
times in my
life. I wouldn’t
miss this event for the
world!"
