Taking a Line for a Walk

In March, I posted about  classes I wanted to take this summer at Sitka. The anticipation was fun, but taking a class last week was even better. The piece on the left was completed in Rebecca Wild's class inspired by Paul Klee. We created our own alphabet based on our signature and used the symbols throughout the workshop. I enjoyed both her process and the results so much that I went out and got the supplies to keep going with the ideas I learned.

I've never considered myself to be into drawing, but this workshop opened up the possibility to me.

During the student introductions  at the beginning of class, almost half of the people said had taken a class from her before and they would take any class from Rebecca Wild. I thought it was hyperbole, but she really is a terrific instructor. She's full of information, supportive, and yet also encourages students to explore on their own. (I would link to her work if I could.) Thank you, Rebecca!

Looks fabulous and I'd be interested in hearing more about the class. I tried to do a google search for her but I'm pretty sure the results were for someone different!
