A spring evening, creativity, inspiration, learning about a new material from a master, sharing with others, Wednesday night’s #OMGDeepDive was made up of all of these. The turnout was great and we hope everyone was able to learn a lot more than they already knew.
We carefully select the venue for each #OMGDeepDive and the mood we are trying to create. We were sure about it and we confirm it now, our venue, Lofoio, couldn’t be a better place for our workshop, it was just the perfect setting. And Francesca, an outstanding host!
The evening, an introductory and exploratory journey into polymer clay, its use in jewelry making, and as an art medium in general. Our participants, instead, came from different backgrounds, from the jewelry field, graphic design to custom design and product development in fashion. It was a nice and interesting mix, everyone worked with their own hands and at the end of the evening took home a piece of their own production.
A sample of the feedback giving a flavour of what some of the participants made of the workshop:
“Great! Amazing professional, loved the result of my necklace”
“A great space at Lofoio, very friendly and easygoing experience”
“Absolutely wonderful. I am excited to continue to explore polymer clay on my own”
“Great! well organized, friendly people, efficient”
It was a success, a delightful detour beyond the usual Wednesday night. And with this satisfaction under our belt, we’d once again like to thank all those who helped make this #OMGDeepDive what it was.
A thank you to Francesca and the entire Lofoio community, who foster such a collaborative and creative workspace.
