My Mother’s Day gift to myself was a Donna Kato weekend workshop. It was a pleasure to meet this enormously talented artist and watch her work. Her flawless techniques come from both practice and passion.
I floated through Sunday when she called my spectrum mandala made with her clay, “Exquisite.” I made a Kato-style bangle bracelet in my current favorite palette of greens and cyan blues, with her black and white “zipper cane” embedded throughout the work.
Today I bought a tool that in her hands makes magic happen: a double-ended aluminum knitting needle. It is such a simple, inexpensive thing…$2.40 with a coupon for 4 brilliant turqouise needles, but oh! That needle is a delicate smoothing and shaping marvel!

Wow I would love to be able to follow one of Donna’s classes (maybe possible soon with the Euro Clay Carnival France planned for 2009). I love what you have made – it’s stunning and so Donna!
What’s this knitting needle thing? DO you have a link? Kylee
