Creativity Cures Mid-Winter Blahs!

I often need to be reminded of just how many wonderful and creative people there are in Toronto. Case in point: my wonderful friend Barb Symons (www.barbsymons.com), whose Mussels & Monoprints workshops help so many people get in touch with their artistic natures. Barb entertains small groups in her studio (she whips up fabulous pizza and martinis!), and participants play with colours and shapes and essentially learn the basics of printmaking. These days, when we're all so obsessed with technology, it's so important to get back to the basics of human connection. The immediacy and spontaneity of just messing around printmaking with someone as much fun as Barb is really what the good life's all about!
