Darlene Boyd is offering soap stone carving classes twice a month at TOPS Rock Shop in San Juan Bautista. Ms. Boyd is a nationally and internationally collected California studio artist, who has shown and conducted workshops for over 35 years. She has a
Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with Honors in sculpture from Brooks Institute, School of Fine Art. These classes are geared to the beginner to intermediate hobbyist, who wishes to indulge in this time-honored tradition. Special classes for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts can be made, to work on a merit badge for this medium.

Registration is highly recommended to assure that there are 5 or more students and sufficient supplies and facilities for everyone. TOPS Rock Shop has some beginner's kits, which are normally $15.95 but will be sold to students at $11.95. Each kit includes a small piece of soapstone, mask, sand paper, steel wool, and a riffler rasp. Larger pieces of soapstone are also available as people advance with their skills. Darlene is also available to provide more advanced training on other gem carving mediums. More practiced Students can bring their own supplies if they wish. Each session costs $ 25 (to Ms. Boyd) for instruction, with additional cost for supplies that need to be purchased.

Beginning in July, Classes are being offered on the
3rd Saturday from 10 to Noon
3rd Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m.

For more information please contact TOPS Rock Shop at 623-4441 or info@topsrockshop.com.

Special classes to groups of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts or to groups of troup leaders. We are using the training materials outlined in the SCULPTURE HANDBOOK - Merit Badge Series. We are the Central Coast representative for Sierra Hills. The photo on the cover of this publication was shot right at Sierra Hills gallery/warehouse in Angels Camp.

The deadline for the work is July 12th!!]]> 2008-06-13T07:16:34-07:00 en-us Copyright © 2008 craigslist, inc. http://monterey.craigslist.org/ats/718383000.html text 2008-06-13T07:16:34-07:00 http://monterey.craigslist.org/ats/716416160.html
Here is the list:

1. Keep the end in mind. By keeping focused on the big picture - this ideal life we want to experience as a successful artist - you can consciously, and unconsciously, harness resources towards the fulfillment of your vision. Also, when times get tough, having a clear vision will keep you focused and moving forward.

2. One day at a time. Marketing one’s art is more like a marathon than a 100-yard dash. One of the many reasons why resolutions don’t work is that after a strong effort at the start, endurance fades into oblivion. Marketing is about laying out the various activities, scheduling ourselves and delivering results, one activity at a time.

3. Actionable goals. At times, visioning is so exciting that one stays there, in dreamland. To make your dreams come true, you need to wake up, define the path that leads to your vision by setting clearly defined goals, for the days, weeks and months ahead. Make these goals SMART: specific, measurable, actionable, result-oriented, and time-based.

4. Understand and accept your limitations. I run triathlons and I will never be a great swimmer: experience proves it, again and again. Now that I understand this fact, and accept it, I can work at improving myself realistically. Know your limitations: you will not become frustrated by unreasonable expectations.

5. Get the skills you need. As we are not gifted in all areas of our lives (although, you, as an artist, are likely to be gifted in several areas…), we need to acquire the skills needed to successfully market. So, attend workshops and seminars (as you do for technique), hire the right skills, and get friends who are good at “sales” to help.

6. Enroll a team. You probably have many friends. You probably know quite a few people… Get them on board by sharing your story, your aspirations, and the marketing help you need. Create a support group with other artists and share your skills and knowledge with them, and join efforts for shows. With others, everything gets easier.

7. Say “no”. At times, saying ”no” is the best technique to avoid over committing and burning out. Prioritize what is going to work, and say “no” to the rest; eliminate the superfluous, the nice-to-have, and all activities which get in the way of moving your marketing forward. Re-direct well-intentioned friends towards activities that align with your plans. Remember, busy-ness is bad business.

8. Share your dreams. By letting others (friends, family, artists, gallery owners, neighbors, your dentist…) know you and your vision better, you enroll allies in this wonderful adventure. They’ll be amazing resources multiplying your efforts. Don’t hide! Besides, your art reveals you.

9. Block time. Dedicate a certain amount of time every day or week towards the marketing of your art. Assign specific activities to specific blocks of time, scheduled at regular hours. Stick to your schedule. It is amazing how much one can accomplish with only 365 hours of dedicated work a year. By blocking time for your marketing, you are putting first-things-first.

10. Breathe and relax. Marketing can be fun: think about it as making art. The essence of the creative process is to set a goal, use resources and overcome obstacles in order to reach it. This approach opens doors to opportunities, and is full of wonderful surprises! Likewise for marketing your art.

Marketing will bring you new friends, enjoyment… and results. So, enjoy the journey, this adventure which engages all your creative instincts and skills!

A life-enriching workshop for artists
Are you attracting new and profitable patrons consistently? (or is your art marketing failing you?)

If you're an Artist who is struggling to attract new patrons, don't know what to do first, and want to make a living from your art, this is the workshop you've been looking for.

Or perhaps you've been in the arts for some time but your sales have slowed or stopped growing.

Maybe you've avoided marketing your art, and you lack regular patrons.

You may even have enough patrons but aren't making the money you want.

If you're at all like most Artists (painter, photographer, ceramist, sculptor, potter, etc.), you feel marketing isn't your cup of tea. In fact, you'd much prefer to just get lots of referrals from satisfied Patrons and friends and forget marketing completely. Indeed, that would be great!

Unfortunately, it does not work this way. You already know that you need an effective marketing plan and actions that get your art the attention it deserves. You need good marketing materials that powerfully communicate your story to your Patrons. Most importantly, you need to be confident and get out there to share your story (and your story is well worth it!).

So what do you do next and where do you start?

The marketing4artists Creativity in Action workshop
The Creativity in Action Workshop gives you a strategy to consistently attract more patrons with a whole lot less struggle and effort. It provides a simple process to put your marketing into action and get results, consistently. This workshop is the culmination of our combined forty years experience working in the artistic and marketing worlds.

We've divided the Creativity in Action Workshop into three steps that you'll apply to the marketing of your own art:

1. The Story - Understand and craft your unique and compelling Story…that sells
2. The Patron - Find who your Patrons are… and how to reach them
3. The Plan - Getting your creativity into action… for results

During the one-day seminar we'll cover each one of these key steps. Each step systematically builds upon the next until you have a very clearly defined marketing action plan. You'll have your marketing material, know what to do with it, when to do it, and how to do it to start attracting more patrons consistently.

Creativity in Action works!
If you're looking for a marketing miracle this workshop is not for you! There is no such thing as a marketing secret recipe.

Our approach is authentic, soulful, systematic and organized. It doesn't depend on marketing tricks or hype (the 2-minutes a day success) but on proven marketing principles and practices. It's something you can do.

Like anything worthwhile, it may take some time and work to master these principles and practices. However, if you come to the workshop with a sincere commitment, getting new patrons will be fun.

Since I started this journey, almost 4 months ago, I now have two bodies of work, ready to show; sellable products (matted prints and note cards) and other products and bodies of work in varying stages of development. I have actually sold prints and (my newly created) note card sets have received rave review. My images (and contact information) are now circling the world. Marketing avenues for me to explore have been identified. Any fears that this would compromise my "art" have been dispelled. -- Susan Honda Eady, Photographer, www.skysheep.com

Make a difference while having fun
The workshop is for Artists who want to make a living and make a difference with their art. Sure you want your make a living from your art, but you also want your art to matter. It's your passion.

If you feel that the art you produce is making the world a better place, is helping people broaden their understanding, is reducing stress and struggle, and is bringing more spirituality, balance, fulfillment and aliveness - to individuals, organizations and the world, then you're ready for the workshop.

The workshop is also for those who actually are ready to have fun with their art marketing. Yes, we know this may seem far-fetched for some, but creative work is fun (as we artists know very well!), and marketing is creative work. Unleash your creativity in the marketing area and be prepared to take your art to places it hasn't been before while having a great time getting there.

We offer Creativity in Action Workshops throughout the year. The next Creativity in Action Workshop is:

Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
