RECENT MISSA TEE SHIRT - Design by Carol Rae |
The previous posting on this blog told the story of MISSA, an artist-conceived and run organization.
MISSA is generally in session annually during June and the first two weeks of July.
The Southern tip of Vancouver island has a maritime, mediterranean climate, conducive to many outdoor activities in the arts.
This posting shows activities during the second week of July 2013.

THE END OF MISSA 29
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR WE HAVE MANY VISITORS TO OUR GALLERY AND GARDEN ON BEAUTIFUL VANCOUVER ISLAND. THERE ARE ALSO MANY VISITS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
AS PROMISED A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK, MY NEXT POSTING WILL BE ON AGATE WARE AND COLOURED CLAY WORKING METHODS. WITH ALL THE INTERRUPTIONS, I CAN'T POSSIBLY GIVE YOU A DATE FOR THIS POSTING. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, JUST KEEP CHECKING IN. THE ONE OAFTER THAT WILL LIKELY BE THE GARDEN IN LATE SUMMER.
ENJOY THE REST OF SUMMER. SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.
thanks so much for your MISSA posts. It's great to see what I'm missing. I'll be a student there one of these years....
ReplyDeleteThank you Robin, for all of the images at MISSA. It is a special place. Any artist who can take a class there should. If you are as fortunate as Al, then return every year. Hugs to you.
