The move from Buford was a monumental project for our dear Ellen Prophater and Sue Sutherland\u00a0who are at the core of this fabulous concept and place. I&#8217;m sure they are thrilled as well as relieved to finally have a home set up again for the workshops and collection of polymer arts. Creative Journey Studios houses one of the largest collections of historically relevant polymer\u00a0art in the world.\u00a0The collection has recently expanded as well, taking up 18 cases\u00a0just stuffed with amazing artwork.<\/p>\n<p>One of the newest pieces in the collection is this mosaic by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ponsawan-Sila-478456348832044\/\">Ponsawan Sila<\/a>, who\u00a0recently relocated herself and her daughter to Thailand\u00a0from Indiana,\u00a0and had to shed many of their belongings in the process. But lucky us, this beautiful piece is permanently housed with our ladies in Milton.<\/p>\n<p>For this coming weekend&#8217;s grand opening, held June 5th to the 8th, there will be demos all weekend along with a trunk show for Lindly Haunani on Friday night.\u00a0The gallery will be showing off new work by quite a number of artists working in both polymer and mixed media. I&#8217;ll spend this week and maybe some of next week highlighting recent work by a number of these great artists that the studio supports.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in attending the grand reopening, go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/creativejourneystudios.blogspot.com\/\">Creative Journey Studios&#8217; website<\/a> for further details.\u00a0If you will have to visit on another day, you may want to look at the workshop schedule and plan to attend one of the amazing workshops they have coming up, conducted by the likes of Donna Greenberg, Jana Roberts Benzon, Julie Picarello and more.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/creativejourneystudios.blogspot.com\/p\/upcoming-classes.html\">Go to this page<\/a> for the workshop schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorful polymer mosaic by Ponsawan Sila, permanently housed in Creative Journey Studios, as seen on The Polymer Arts blog, www.ThePolymerArts.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[4553,276,61,640,234,125,277],"class_list":["post-15093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-inspirational-art","tag-creative-journey-studios","tag-ellen-prophater","tag-mosaic","tag-polymer","tag-ponsawan-sila","tag-studio","tag-sue-sutherland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2O0Lm-3Vr","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15093\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
