Bench Pins

I have a fascination with bench pins. Bench pins are:

Web definitions A wedge-shaped block of hardwood attached to a bench to support work while sawing or filing.. I love bench pins, they ooze of character. They are handcrafted. Store bought. Modified. Altered. Clean. Dirty. Used. New. Old. Inherited. Borrowed. Worn. Drilled. Large. Small. Angled. Straight. Clamped.... I could go on and on. I just love them and I feel that they portray the character of the artist. Here are some pics of some bench pins from one of my workshops. Enjoy, Mixed Metal Mimi xo

Last day of a 5 day workshop on chasing and repousee at MISSA

I am spent, so much valuable knowledge floating around in my cold medicated brain. Yes,I had to get a cold just before this amazing course that I waited so long to take, but there was no way I was missing it, so between the sinus meds. and the advil for my sore back, shoulder and wrist... and band aids...I got through it :) and I LOVED every minute of it. I so enjoyed the camaraderie , the atmosphere at rustic west coast Pearson College, and our wonderful teacher Nancy Megan Corwin, thank you Megan xo.

MISSA

I am having the best time at www.missa.ca taking the Chasing and repousse course. I can not wait to take my pitch and pitch bowl home where I can explore and experiment with more techniques.
