Ann Baker will be returning on four Saturdays this spring to give her workshops in Ridgeway. 1 ler descrip tion reads: This is a time to develop your skills in note taking, sketching, marking and drawing. Take your thoughts and concepts and translate them visually onto paper. Visual notations can be important references that grow in your journal or can be exhibited with your craft work as finished drawings in themselves. It encourages you to study your work, to be more fully aware of what you are doing from a different perspec tive and helps connect you to the source of your art. Come experiment and play with your ideas on paper. There is real value in the time you spend on thought and notation: "Practice off your instrument!" No skills required — everyone welcome — please bring your journal, a sketch pad or some paper, peiv and/ or pencils or markers. Saturdays, 10 - d 1:30 a.m., March 25, April 1,15, and 22.

David Petersen, from Wales, is also the instructor at that time for a three week session, "Creative Forging of Sculpture". We are excited about bringing these people together.

Panel members are being asked to bring their sketches, their journals or models. Attendcnce will be limited to about 60 people so everyone has an opportunity to meet and share ideas. During the Symposium, the Ridgeway Gallery will open with a show of iron work — mostly from artists living around Penland. Please call our office if you are interested in more details.
