This year the NIADA conference was held in Corte Madera, California, just outside San Francisco. I usually go every 2-3 years and since I had been to the conference last year I didn't think I would be going. But my good friend Neva Waldt was going to be inducted as a new member, so how could I miss that?
Another reason not to miss: Shelley Thornton was teaching a class. I had a great three day Head and Hand class with Shelley.
Gallery night was spectacular (although a little hard to photograph with the light from the windows coming through).
