We just wrapped up the Art Teacher Retreat at St. Mary’s of the Woods College. The art studios were hopping until late at night. It was the 10th anniversary of the retreat! There were 32 participants from all over the State!
Monday afternoon started with White Line Woodcuts inspired by the Provincetown printmakers taught by retreat organizers, Trish Korte & Kevin Schultz. The finished woodcut was then painted with watercolors and transferred to arches paper. Here are a few of the works created:

Monday evening we learned about Viking Knit Bracelets from RoAnn Thompson. The transformation of knitted wire being pulled through a series of holes in a wood block created a very tight mesh. Adding beads and a closure were the finishing touches.
