WOW!!! I attended the Jack Johnston class this past friday thru Sunday with my New York group girlfriends, Tery from my group and 2 new girls. This was a life changing class! I learned so much from Jack...He is amazing...just put the clay in his hands and it comes to life....again and again and again!!!! Words cant describe the energy that was in the room for three sold days of intense learning! Jack brought Jarret, his beautiful and talented son who also is a fantastic artist and teacher...The two pushed us through this FAST PACED (ugh!!! ) class.....
I Knew the women in this group from previous classes taken in NY...especially Minnie who I have stayed connected with.......but all of us became family again...learning , sharing and "AMAZING" each other, BONDING into this "Art Doll" Journey!!!
I still cannot believe that we got through Heads, Hands, Bodies, AMAZING techniques in Clay shoes, and then actually put it all together and walked out of there with a doll ready to be costumed! I had a little hard time with this (i woud have evened my eyes/nose) more and definatley smoothed my face over another 10 days!! haha...but i got over it!!
(I took it home and added a little and rebaked...then did my hair until late saturday night!! that made me more at ease!!! I learned to not get so crazy so that I can get through a doll... I hope it sticks with me! )
The techniques I learned from Jack and Jarret were life changing for me...and I will continue to practice them !
