goodbye Columbus

I'm home from both Peters Valley and QSDS - enough workshops to last me for a while. Both were great experiences in very different environments and for different reasons. Apologies to all of you who have been checking my blog for new stuff, but it was impossible for me to post while at QSDS - too busy and then too exhausted. First, some views of Short North, the arts district of Columbus. Isn't this sculpture great?
On the OTHER hand, it was a bit disconcerting to see notices like these posted all over town: Then again -- there were wonderful murals all over town. This one was guaranteed to make us smile! We ate well (off campus), shopped well (at the Blick store as well as at Chico's) and enjoyed the Columbus Art Museum's collection. As far as QSDS itself was concerned, it was a great experience. More in the next post.
