I've been gifted a full scholarship to
Focus on Fiber 14, an artists retreat at the beautiful
Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, FL.
The last time I was there was
2007 and I worked like the devil was chasing me from can't see to half past dark, almost every day I was there, but came away with dyed cloth that became the foundation of the majority of my larger pieces.
My way with cloth has changed a lot since then and since I wasn't anticipating attending, I still don't know what I will be working on; could be just my
tan and my
improv skills - there is always a crying need for camp fools.
There's plenty of time for me to think about it and bank some bail money.
.FOF14 once again co-incides with Daytona's Bike Week which always makes for interesting fun on the local highways. Mary McBride tells me there are a few openings in both the retreat and
the workshops so don't drag your feet if you were half planning on going. There will be art, good times and noodle salad!
