Quito Chapter #233

The first workshop, we had on January 12th directed by Mrs. Yu Mei Montalvo, was a class with non-conventional materials. 15 members participated online.

All the members were very creative and have made very interesting works under the rules of Sogetsu School. The materials used were wire, plastic, metals, etc. We always tried to find the focal point and kept the negative space to make them more creative and beautiful.

In the workshop on January 26 also directed by Mrs. Yu Mei Montalvo we practiced once again the Dumonji Dome which is very important to create a perfect arrangement in any kind of a base.
