I've been back in the states for three weeks, back in Seattle for two and I am still clawing my way back to the realities of my life. One such reality is this blog which has been sorely neglected. I decided today that I either had to abandon it all together or sheepishly apologize for its neglect and begin posting again. Clearly I chose the latter. The reason for my absence? I spent the month of June in Italy attending two printmaking workshops at the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence; a mezzotint workshop taught by Francisco Souto and a woodblock workshop taught by Karen Kunc, (whose work is so wonderful it makes me drool). In addition, I roamed the streets, museums and cathedrals of Florence seeing so much art I thought my eyes would pop out of my head. And never once did I suffer from museum fatigue. It was stupendous. Being in Italy for a month made for a fabulous June, but the idea of sitting down and writing a 'what i did on my summer vacation' entry is too daunting. Therefore I have decided to describe my trip in lists, for anyone who knows me, knows i love lists. I will share my lists as i unpack, edit photos and continue my decompression from travel. Hopefully this method will give you an idea of all the wonderful things i saw and did while in Italy. To start...
