A WEEK WITH MONIQUE THE BEST!

I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Monique Lallier, but the responses from her students in San Francisco indicate that I'd better roll out the red carpet when she comes to Telluride in the Fall. The best thing for me to do for this blog entry is to let an enthusiastic student (and some of Monique's photos) tell the story.


"There are masters, but Madame Lallier is a master's master, her command of her materials and her refined skills are so easily communicated that for one minute, o' so briefly, one imagines being her and bathing in her light.  But then, she says something very softly to give us a tip on how to improve a gesture or a way of doing something.  This course was a delight and the tips alone were well worth the price of admission.  Unfortunately, the week ended, too soon.  I went back to my studio with a smile and a promise to improve every day and be ready for my next week with Madame..."  - Momo
