Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Mary's artwork, Mary and I hosted a number of enthusiastic guests for a weekend workshop at her studio. We invited several talented teachers and welcomed a very happy group of art-makers for a few days of super-fun-crafting. It was soooo fantastic. (Forgive me for not posting earlier.)
