Hi Barbara,
No, I have never been invited to teach at Haystack. Instead, I've had the sole pleasure of working on my work.. and eating bacon! Teaching there is a 24/7 job.
They only have the BEST teachers, so you can consider yourself so!
Gorgeous collaborative necklace, by the way. Bet it brought in the big bucks.
I first attended Haystack in 1992, and feel fortunate to have been invited back every year since. While there, I created some of my most important works, in books, mixed media and clay. The experiences changed my life, and the people I met during those summers are precious.
Last year was probably my last, as I moved to Southern Californa to be closer to my family. As I no longer fly, other than in my dreams and imagination, trips across country to Maine will be difficult and costly. But Haystack (and its memories of limitless bacon and whipped cream) will always remain my Paradise.

"Regardless of concert, we could meet Saturday morning and walk into show together... I do want to show you the extra chasing tools at some point (hope I remember to pack them - note to self), in case you want any of them :) Here's my cell…"
"Im doing the standing room only on the dance floor at Santana. I stand all day at my work bench so standing through a concert is no biggie for me.
Otherwise, after the show or the next morning we could have breakfast and head into the jewelry…"
"Hi Steve welcome to the group! Been sifting through the SNAG conference pictures and info to compile entries for this week, for those who didn't have the chance to attend -in the meantime, thanks for your patience. I'd love to hear your…"
"So glad you'll be able to buzz through show... it is HUGE, I hear, so probably difficult to meet up there.
I was thinking about seeing Santana... maybe I'll bite the bullet and we could meet up there. What section are your…"
"Thanks, Vickie! I really need to get some images of my newer work loaded :-) How was the SNAG conference? From what I've seen posted, it looks like it was a lot of fun!"
