June News from Kristin Nicholas - Creative Retreats Filling Up. Come to Our Farm and Learn Something New!
Hello Colorful Friends!
It's been a busy month of June. How has yours been? Our daughter Julia graduated from high school at the beginning of the month. I wrote about that here on my blog.
In the making department, I've been doing some fabric printing and adding Crewel Embroidery to the printed motifs. It is a technique I will explore with students this summer on July 29th here at the farm in a Fabric Printing and Crewel Embroidery Day. Here are a couple photos of two pieces. You can see more detail on my blog here.
This year, I decided to offer One Day Options for each weekend. Check out the options here. To register for the One Day Classes, you will have to read about the class in the first part of the web page. To register for One Day, scroll to the bottom of the page and that is where you register for the One Day Classes. To register for the Two Day Classes, use the button just below each class description. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at kristinnicholas@gmail.com.

I was interviewed on the Webs podcast. You should be able to listen to it here.
Here are some links for you to explore.....
• Have you seen the video of the chicken who plays the piano? It's quite something. Check it out here.
• I just discovered this removable vinyl tile. Looks like an interesting treatment for people who are renting or want a temporary decorative removable solution for bathrooms and kitchens.
• I like the large hexagon gray clay tiles and pretty glass and iron light in this bathroom.
• Love this studio space of Fleur Woods, an embroidery and paint artist.
* On Houzz.com, I discovered the creative home of Danish ceramist Bjorn Wiinblad. He was a prolific artist in the 60's and 70's and even designed for Rosenthal.
• Continuing with the ceramic theme, these Portuguese pieces are so colorful and creative.
• Ikea products are now available on Amazon. (affiliate link) They are going to own the world soon after the acquistion of Whole Foods.
I wish you all a great summer. This week it is official!
Yours in color and creativity,
Kristin Nicholas
