Went to Morrisburg,Ontario on the weekend to help out at the Morrisburg Polymer Clay Gathering conference.
http://mpcg2009.blogspot.ca/ I was invited by my friend Liz. Her mother , Margi McInnis Laurin , ( who is an amazing artist and I admire with every fibre of my being )
http://margilaurin.ca/Site/Welcome.html along with Violette Laporte are the organizers of this event. Unfortunately this year Violette could not make it , yet , through technology she attended and even taught via skype on an iPad!
Liz and I were helpers but before I knew it I was asking questions , borrowing tools, rolling canes.... My brain went on overdrive with all the possibilities, that this medium could offer. It will most definitely be a part of my creations in the future.

All these women are highly creative , motivated , and artistic. They came from Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and even the States. It was a pleasure and honor to meet them and learn from them. All in all a very inspirational weekend.
