It's been a crazy month. We had a wonderful trip to the Virginia
mountains to visit with our polymer friends and have some sanity
replenishing time to clay and relax. Then we raced back home to ready
the studio for Ron Lehocky's debut in the teaching arena. He was
magnificent! We had a fabulous weekend learning his easy peasy cane, his
style of mokume and ikat, and all his construction secrets! We laughed
'til we cried and ate everything that wasn't nailed down! The weekend
culminated in Ron's presenting his 30,000th heart to the Creative
Journey Studios Retrospective Collection. We are so happy to share his
accomplishment with the polymer world.

Now we need to get back to the real world and gear up for Sarah Shriver.
Her class is June 5th to the 7th. She will be sharing her Big Beads and
making them into rings and bracelets! I see a fabulous ring in my
future! There is still a space if you want to join us!
We've added new work (in addition to Ron's wonderful heart) to the
collection. New bracelets from Lindly Haunani, a new bowl from Emily
Squires Levine, some new earrings and a pendant from Sandra McCaw, a
bracelet and pin from Julie Eakes (in her new Silk Road style), and a
wonderful batch of polymer pussy willows from Cynthia Tinapple that we
won at the retreat auction.
We've also been busy adding new products to the supply store. We have
new wire working tools, Ron's pounce wheels, new texture rollers and
stamps from Kor-tools, amalgam carriers for dots, new button molds, new
silk screens from Alison Gallant and Karen Woods, new Fimo Pro clay, new
Pardo translucent colored clay, and new Premo clay colors. So many
reasons for a trip to CJS!
