Enjoying Metal Clay by the Bay in San Diego CA
Front of unfinished 'Sea Story' Herbarium Pendant My second year at the Metal Clay by the Bay Conference was just as exciting and fun filled as the first. Conferences are great places to make friends, meet facebook friends and learn new techniques. Vendors brought all kinds of tools to see and for us to handle – much better than looking at a picture. Last year I met Helen and as sometimes happens we became good friends. We made plans to meet this year and take the same classes. Helen makes beautiful glass pieces and also works with metal clay. Check out her etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/hbjewelrydesign The conference was held at the Hilton at Mission Bay and the setting could not have been lovelier. The hotel sits on the bay and has beautiful beaches, swimming pool and grassy areas. Sometimes it was hard to go to class! The food was so well prepared and presented with an exotic flair. Yes, I felt like I was on vacation! http://www.sandiegohilton
