Rachael Lust workshop at the Bird's Nest
Last year I bought a ticket to one of Rachel Lust's workshops in the Raleigh NC area. Here's Rachael's 2017 Facebook tour page, which includes a video of her in action. I was super stoked, so of course my company decided that I needed to go to DC that week, so I ended up giving my ticket away.
When she scheduled one of this year's tour stops in Buffalo, I got another ticket and this time I was able to go. Hooray! Finally uploaded the shot of all the ladies from the the workshop at The Bird's Nest. Rachel is in the front on the far Left.
Came home with several new skills and drills and plenty more to work on:

I also splurged and bought one of her hoops to support her art. The new baby ("Venus") is thin 33" seafoam green polypro. Quick, light, smooth as butter. Lighter than my copper polypro travel hoop, so now I have the best of both worlds.
