A Metal Workshop with Abigail Connell

I'm in  Wesport Ontario staying with my friend Georgia Ferrell a few days before we head to Morrisberg for the Morrisberg Polymer Clay Gathering. Yesterday we drove to visit Abigail Connell whose jewelery is absolutely exquisite. Abigail greeted us with a delicious lunch and then we went to her studio for  inspirational instruction.

 Abigail showed me how to etch copper and thanks to her outstanding instruction I managed to produce a cuff and a pair of earrings and I'm incredibly excited with the process!  Abigail will be offering workshops in in the near future and I encourage you to attend if you are able!

THANKS ABIGAIL IT WAS A FANTASTIC DAY!
