Any year now, when we get back to in-person engagements,
​I look forward to teaching in your town;  if you'd like to see that happen, be in touch.
Let's make some in-person magic!
​
In the meantime, check out the online workshops available,

I teach the same way online as I do in person :)  It's the next best thing to being together!

The Vermont Soiree
is happening in October, 2021!

The Block Printed Garden Smock
August 21st

This link will take you to French General's Workshop Page where sign-ups are happening for this workshop:  You'll learn how to design & carve your own block/stamp, color mixing, and stitching on top to really make it all stand out!
It's gonna be a juicy one. 
Oh, and probably messy...and, yeah, super fun...

Art Shows / 2021

JUNE 14th to AUGUST 14th
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
a multi-artist show at Rapscallion Gallery in Bozeman, MT (ahhh, i love Montana)
I have ten small but mighty pieces in this show.  Including the six pieces above.  My goal is to have each person that comes to one in the series (there will be 100) they would let me know where in the world the piece lives now, and i'd keep a tally of the people that are carrying this message with them...i like the idea that they\ i can somehow connect them all, making true the statement
"you are not alone in this" 

 My clever friend, Tyn, has opened a space called FIG. It's fabulous tag line, if you will, is
"an occasional pop-up shop, handmade treasures, vintage finds & art"
.She's popping up for the grand opening on May 29th, 2021 and asked me to be her first guest artist.  OF COURSE i said yes.  
She aims to 'pop-up' monthly. You can find her on Instagram.  The fun part is that she'll continue to carry some of my vintage pieces and even some of my work!


@@@@
I was invited to take part in this incredibly fun talk with Margret Petrie about
art, process, getting stuck!
getting unstuck!
those pesky monkey-mind thoughts,
and lots of other topics! 
You can listen to the laughs and hopefully be inspired to get into your own scraps!

The Traveling Postal Club

The Traveling Postal Club  is a free -to-all, community, mail-art project/gathering that fellow artist, Anne Baumgartner & I started in 2017.  Past public projects include: "Dear Los Angeles" and "Remember This Name"

This year's project, "Tell Me One Thing" was born out of a wish for wisdom.  While we can't physically be together, we can still let each other know one thing:  an 'i love you' or an 'i baked bread!' or 'did you know dogs can talk?' something that connects you and one other person.  The community comes in when you share that 'one thing, one letter, one person' with the rest of us.  The joy, the wisdom, the one thing spreads out to all of us still stuck at home, looped in a groundhog day, worried about covid, missing our families and friends...  we can all do our part to lift each other up with one little thing! 

If you love mail-art or letter writing and want to make a difference not only in somebody's mailbox, but in someone's day, 
join us in writing to people anywhere, anytime. 

HOW TO JOIN IN, in 2021
But for the actual mail you send,
this public project will be entirely virtual for now.  
Once you've created your mail-art, written your letter or postcard and have it ready to send, take a photo of the front and the back side (covering up the recipient's address)and either tag us on Instagram @thetravelingpostalclub and/or use the hashtag #tellmeonethingTPC 
or send it to us in a direct message (DM)
and we'll share your creativity
​on The Traveling Postal Club Instagram feed for all to enjoy!
