A cheerful little weblog in regards to the joyful present that’s studying

Most likely the factor that provides me extra pleasure than anything about my life as a working artist is the chance I’ve to share what I’ve realized over 30 years of working with glass. I take the best pleasure from studying the great 5 Star evaluations the attendees of my glass workshops depart for me on Google.

In reality, only a few artists ever get wealthy from pursuing their desires. The most effective most of us can hope for is to earn a modest residing – to assist to maintain the proverbial wolf from the door – to not less than attempt to not lose cash!

Each time that I flip to my husband or daughter (or associates), in what Douglas Adams so wittily known as the Lengthy Darkish Tea-Time of the Soul, and bemoan the truth that I may have had a extra worthwhile profession if I had stayed with working in radio as a present affairs producer, then they all the time remind me of the enjoyment that’s achieved when somebody invests in a chunk of glass they’ll treasure, or study a brand new talent, and  uncover their very own innate creativity, and have on the finish of it a wonderful work of their very own creation to take dwelling, or to provide to a liked one.

In reality, life just isn’t all the time straightforward. Because the poet stated, into each life just a little rain should fall. All of us expertise tough instances, and not too long ago instances have been harder than for a very long time. That’s why I actually have a good time the truth that individuals who come to the workshops are literally investing in their very own well-being – investing additional pleasure into their very own lives – and that’s, greater than something, what I really like about my job.

When you spare a couple of minutes to learn by means of these evaluations of my workshops, you’ll instantly perceive what I imply. My biggest reward is these great feedback, and seeing the passion and pleasure on the faces of all attendees. That’s why I’m delighted to ask you, too, to come back alongside to 550 Swan St, Richmond and share within the enjoyable. As a result of I do know simply how a lot enjoyable you’ll have!
