Time for the letter K
Friday, September 5, 2008 at 9:30AMI figure if I am going to get through the alphabet before the end of the year I had better get a wriggle on! So make a cuppa as here is another letter from my big blog list
I try to choose blogs that are on topic and written reasonably frequently, by textile practitioners and designers who do such things as quilt, stitch, dye, sew, embellish fabric, bead, use visual journals, or are interested in art and design. I hope you enjoy these!

On another note:
Time for a little self promotion. I am offering Studio Journals: A Designer’s Workhorse. This course aims to help people keep and use a studio journal. If you are interested follow the link to find out more about it. The class commences October 23, 2008.
My other online class Sumptuous Surfaces is also on offer again. The last time this class was run some fantastic work was produced. You can see students work on the flickr group that was set up for students of the class. Even if you are not considering the class it is worth taking a look as there is some great stuff there. The class commences October 28, 2008.
You can find out how the classes work and there is a a little more information on my classes offered page and you can read what past students have thought of the classes too.

Goodness, I wish you had scholarships -- last year when my freshly-ex was feeling financially inclined, I was able to soak up your Summptious Surfaces. I'd give my right hand to be able to take your SJ-ADW class. You have no idea how awesome you are!!
Do you know when the next courses will be, after the October ones? I'd love to do the Studio Journal one and also the Sumptuous Surfaces and don't want to have to choose!

The classes are all run via Joggles.com. There will be another batch in February but not necessarily Studio Journal class and the Sumptuous Surfaces. In all probability it will be one of the the other classes I offer.
It is up to joggles as after each class they look at the numbers and decide if it is worth running a class again. It has to be worth their while too.
That said I feel sure those two classes will run again next year but I don't know when. You could always drop Joggles.com a line and let them know of your situation so they know there is interest.
i highly recommend studio journals
even though i didn't have time to participate online with others in *my class* i had a great time collecting pasting cutting and creating
many wonder filled ideas are shared in this class. i plan to take another course to practise the ideas that came up through journalling. thanks again sharon for your good work. clear. from the heart. creativity. as ever, ~kate

Hi Sharon, I've also nominated you the I love your blog award (posted before I read that Linda had also awarded it to you). Your blog and website are such great places to visit - full of information and inspiration!
Hi Sharon, thank you very much for including my blog in your list for "K" - much appreciated.
Unfortunately I have not been in the studio much this year - but hope to be blogging about my work again next month.
Your mention has given me a much needed nudge.
Regards
