Mary Pal's workshop at the Festival of Quilts was to teach the joys of using paintsticks and joyful it was. Mary is a great teacher - enthusiastic, thorough and diligent. She imparted a sense of play and exploration as well as pointing the way to doing fine work by combining stencils and masks, layering and mixing. Although I have done a lot of work with paintsticks it is always possible to learn new techniques. I had a lot of fun making samples using various techniques and will post images when the work has been completed.
