CAG CONVERGENCE Conference - July 2011

David Vernon (c) 2011

Can you believe that is really 2011 already?  Well there is so much planned for this year and I am beginning to wonder if I can add more items to the list that I have already.  A big event that we will be a participant will be the CAG (Ceramic Artist Guild) CONVERGENCE Conference July 17-23, 2011.  I will be teaching 5 classes during the conference from my new patterns pictured above.  We will be painting and sharing the news about the Heritage product family with ceramicists from around the country and maybe from around the world.  At the conference I will be teaching teaches the floral designs using the Heritage arcylics/mediums on ceramic bisque.  I am really looking forward to participating at this event, which will be held at the Corban University, Salem, Oregon.  I have never been to Oregon so this will be an adventure and a little vacation as well.  I really cannot wait.  The conference should be exciting where we will meet many new ceramicists and painters.  The conference will provide lots of classes and activities.  I am hoping that I see many of my friends at the conference.

Now on another topic, I would like to remind everyone that we have 3 great seminars planned already for this year.  Do not miss Sandy Scales in April, Tatiana Sholohkova in July, and of course the one and only David Jansen in September.  Pampered Palette will be providing something special, not just the pampering that we provide during the seminars, but attendees will receive FREE a Pampered Palette notebook (project pictured on the front cover)(suitable for taking class notes) for Sandy's seminar, a FREE tote bag (project pictures on the front and back) for attending Tatiana's seminar and a FREE Pampered Palette apron for attending David Jansen's seminar.  Why would we do this?  Because "WE ARE THE PREMIERE STUDIO FOR THE DECORATIVE ARTIST" and we want everyone to enjoy the pampering that they will receive at Pampered Palette.  So, do not wait, visit http://www.pamperedpalette.com/ and reserve your seminar seats today!   Space is limited.

Another Weekend Seminar

This past weekend we (Pampered Palette) along with Bev's Ceramics sponsored a Sandy Scales seminar at Bev's studio. We spent the weekend painting several of Maureen McNaughton's patterns pictured above (excuse the flash). Some of the individuals attending the seminar painted on ceramic bisque surfaces while others painted on wood surfaces. We even had some attendees that had never attempted stroke work previously. In all it was a good two days of painting. We are planning the next Sandy Scales seminar for December 4 & 5, 2010. For that seminar we will be painting two pieces, a Cabbage Rose & Holly pattern and a Summer Sweet Pea pattern. We are looking forward to that seminar.

Now next on our list of seminars is a weekend with David Jansen where we will be learning Rosemaling. That should be interesting and hopefully we will be able get through the pieces with our usual excitement and of course patience. We will see. Have to run out. Just wanted to share the pieces we completed this past weekend with everyone. Until next time, Happy Painting.

New Website and Online Store Coming Soon!

We are really busy trying to get our new website and online store constructed and rolled out. We do not know how long this will take but are hoping to get everything done this month. We are combining a lot of our websites into one very user friendly site. The new site will have a newsletter, a forum, the Pampered Palette website, the Pampered Palette Educational Network and our online store all in one place. Now how cool is that? Now some may ask why we are redoing our website/store? Well, we are trying to bring up a site that is a lot more flexible for us, more user friendly for end user, and more visually pleasing to the customer. We have been busy configuring and pulling data into the new system. Currently, all the products and prices have been included in the system. We now are trying to bring up the website information, forum and newsletter along with TESTING, TESTING, and more TESTING. It seems like we do not have enough hands to get everything done and find the time to paint as well. We expect that once the site is launched then everything will calm down a bit (we hope).

We are rolling out several seminars using one of our local ceramic studios space for the classes. Soon we will have our own class area completed. We have the room almost finished, painted and the flat screens mounted. We are currently waiting for some gadgets we need to pull everything together so that we can display different pictures on the three different screens or all the same picture. We have added a brand new camcorder where we can zoom into to see a flea on a fly's butt..........lol. We are really excited about the classes and the new space.

Do not forget about HOOT. We will be there with two booth spaces, 413-415, so if you are planning a trip to Ohio to attend HOOT, be sure and stop by our booths and say hello. We also would like to remind everyone about the Washington DC area Mini-Conference/Exposition scheduled for November 20/21 with our Special Guest, David Jansen painting an Armoire. What an exciting year we have planned. So, stay tuned for more news. Until next time, HAPPY PAINTING!
