First, a little preview of some projects we would be working on during the days. These were created by Katie Kendrick, Stephanie Lee, and Judy Wise.
The pilgrims gathered around Judy to learn how to apply a smooth layer of joint compound to our plaster gauze boards.

That evening, while some of the pilgrims went off to cooking class, a small group of us headed out for a light dinner with Judy at the Jardin. Suddenly mariachis, magical castles, and the full moon appeared!
After our supper as we wandered around the Jardin, another procession appeared. More mariachis, all dressed in white, a crowd of revelers sipping tequila from tiny jugs strung about their necks, and... a giant bride and groom! It was a wedding!
