I really enjoyed seeing what everyone created, Ann's introduction and our discussions about cultures. And, having conquered my 'fiber phobia,' I may just venture into creating with it again!

Your finished collage captures all the magic of New Orleans. I remember from my visit several years ago, the color, the excitement, the charm and the history. All are reflected in your composition. Most of all, I remember the people who have created a composite culture that works! I fell in love with the city, just as you did. Thank you for sharing your work, and the kind endorsement of the workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting your group and learning so much about how they came to be Americans.

I loved the class. I could spend a week in a class like that and explore all kinds of cultures through fiber. I was really astounded at the great pieces that were made in just a short time. Mine is still unfinished, but I spent a couple of more hours on it and will definitely have it ready for AOC. I think Ann is onto a nice way to explore culture in a class. I don't think I could ever teach that type of class, but I think she does a good job. I am so glad you wrote about your piece. I loved the class.
