My "Live" Art Demo: A Photo Essay

I had a blast last night at the Art Walk Gallery & Museum Tour in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I was assigned to craft shop known as "You Made It" and they graciously gave me the center of the store. Dozens of folks came by, and I taught all who wanted to learn all about how to create "stained-glass-canvas" paintings. I also offered all a chance to try their hand at it using my materials. The kids really got into it, and one college freshman, Lilly, mastered it!Â She can create her own pieces now. :D

^ David, the store owner, got so interested in my "stained-glass-canvas" style that he decided to try it himself...using his own pottery and glazes.
