The workshops are now just around the corner. The samples the students will work with are all prepared. The name plaques are getting their final touches. The shop has been cleaned from top to bottom. We are almost ready.

We've stocked up on all the supplies we need and begun final prepartions for the sculpting workshop as well which begins next week. Those preparations will be tucked away until just before the workshop starts. Today Matt and I began welding the tree structures. The students will take the projects from this point, welding up the substructure, through to final sculpt.

We'll be taking lots of pictures through the workshops. I'll post a report of two along the way. Stay tuned...
