A few weeks ago I spent a week teaching in Townsville, Queensland. I had an amazing week, with a class of fun and really talented students.
I have never travelled with so much luggage before. I think I spent the whole time apologising to everyone who had to handle it. I am much more of a one bag kind of girl.
Here are some photos of some of the work from the class. Hopefully I have matched the right person's name to the right work. If I have made a mistake please let me know.

Christina was my partner in crime all week and kept me sane with early morning trips for good coffee and seed pods. Thanks Christina. Have a look at more of Christina's work at

Lyn |
Lyn was a Townsville local and it was a joy having her in the class. My favorite pieces of hers was this cast silver pendant.

Wendy travelled down from Cairns or the tablelands (sorry Wendy can"t remember which) I seem to remember her and Kes having a fun adventure on our half day.

Kes |
Kes is a jeweller in her own right and once I got over my nerves of having someone in the room who knew how things should be done, not how I do them, she was great value.

Gitte |
Linda and Gitte made the trip from Brisbane and again created some gorgeous work during the week.
?
Joan- What can I say about Joan....... Joan created some absolutely gorgeous pieces during the week but I did not get a chance to get a photo of her pieces. (Joan, you thought you got away with it)
And saving for last Estelle. Estelle and her husband Warren drove from Darwin to Townsville. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed their company. I will show you some of Warrens work later. I will not be able to show you his amazing t-shirt basket as I am not sure if you are allowed to have an x rated images on blogs so you will just have to use your imagination.
Thanks everyone for such a great week I had a wonderful time with my students and the other amazing tutors who I will talk about next time.
