Beachcombing - Featuring Student Work

Beads, seaglass, shells
Add a group of creative souls
and beautiful art and friendships are made!


Made by:
Adrienne Goodenough at
Art & Soul Portland 2007


'Tide Pool Treasures' (see this in 2009 Convergence!)
Made by:
Judy Carlson (lampwork and beach glass toggles) and Cynthia Lohry (beadweaving)
Bead & Button Show 2008


With Gina at Art & Soul in Portland, 2008
(I'm the one with my eyes nearly closed)

Many of the sea treasures seen in the student work above were sent to me by two former students who have become my friends and fellow beachcombers. They walk beaches from Prince Edward Island to Texas and send me their treasures to share with other students: Jacqueline Talarico and Marcy McKenzie - so many thanks!

I will be teaching the Beachcomber workshop in the upcoming venues:

May 4, in Hampton VA at the
Art & Soul Retreat

June 5, in Milwaukee, WI at the
Bead & Button Show
