Once a month, Lyn (who happens to be the mother of the author, Rick Riordan, whose books my older grandsons love) hosts a Show and Tell at the Studio.
Lyn's husband, Mike, had made a delicious spread of food and gave us his recipe for Sopapilla Cheese Cake. A fiber artist showed us the fabric Valentine card she'd made for her 93-year-old mother. She was dressed in a jacket she'd made with this necklace.
Another woman showed us her glass works--sushi bowls and pendants. Two men read poetry. A songwriter played some of her songs. Another woman, recently back from Japan, taught us how to fold fabric to wrap things, Japanese style, a process called furoshiki. Participants introduced us to materials, media, and finished art works, and Lyn's encaustic mixed media pieces were hanging all over the studio. I left inspired!
I'll be taking a class from her in late February on transferring images onto paper and fabric.
If you live in San Antonio, check out her studio in the Carousel Shopping Center on Nacogdoches.
