After talking to them, I think I understand. When Judy said it's like drawing on the surface of an eggshell, well: wow. So here's my little intro, with all the links:
Judy Wise and Stephanie Lee have just collaborated on a huge, huge project. Not only did they do a book together--Plaster Studio, due out in May from North LIght Books--but they're teaming up again for an online workshop in conjunction with the book. The workshop begins on June 13th, so you still have time to hop over and sign up. First, though, you can listen to Judy and Stephanie talk about the collaboration, their friendship, why you need cross-generational relationships, and why they love plaster so very, very much.
And here's Judy--I have actually met both Judy and Stephanie, and this is a photo I took of Judy at a little coffee shop in Portland when The EGE and I went up for Artfiberfest a couple years ago: 
And here's Stephanie:
And here's the podcast--enjoy!

two of my favorite contemporary artists. can't wait to download this podcast. i'm already on the waiting list for the book. :)
I am sooooo doing the happy dance! I LOVE your podcasts and I love both of these women! I have taken a one day class with Judy and several on-line classes with Steph. I met Step at an Artful Journey. She's as wonderful as I imagined her to be. I will definitely be in their plaster class. Tomorrow morning as I walk to work I will be in podcast heaven!!
Yay! Thank y'all for your enthusiasm--you make it possible for me to have an excuse to call up my favorite people and ask them nosy questions: I tell them their fans are waiting excitedly. And it's true--XO
their book have been on my wish list since I read about it on Judy's awesome and inspiring blog. Thanks Rïca for doing this interview and keeping me entertained while sending out lots of emails tonight (copy-paste-mood). :-)
Enjoyed this interview about how to have a successful collaboration. Would have never considered using plaster as a surface to paint on. - Julie
Another great podcast. Will have to ck out their blog. I've toyed around with Spackle, but didn't end up with much but a mess. LOL Will be interesting to see all the things they can do with plaster.
i can't wait for this class! i had a 2 day plaster class with stephanie and de meng at art and soul a couple of years ago. i learned skills that took my art to another level. i like to make assemblages and i learned how to make my own structures. really helpful! i really like stephanie. i've been following judy's blog since you first posted about her. they are both awesome artists and i can't wait to see what they've come up with together.
