Great class with Michael de Meng and the girls at Zinina

Saturday June 25 we took a class from Michael de Meng at Zinnia in South Pasadena.  Lots of good info on materials, techniques, etc. and had fun spending the day with the girls (all 20+ of them and a couple of guys).  Had a nice breakfast at the Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena first, got there early and got right in.  Zinnia has a wonderful selection of gee-gaws, paper ephemera, tools, art and toys.  Made small shrines using Apoxie clay (for the first time).  We love it!  At the end of the class Michael had something nice to say about everyone's "creation," what a diplomat!  Second time I've taken a class with him and enjoyed both very much.
