Back to Basics: Hammers!!"

*by Betsy Manheimer* 

So many hammers and so little time. Just seeing all of the hammers that Betsy brought was a real treat. But better yet she was full of important information such as how to determine if your hammer is sound and what to do if it is not along with how to use or not use your body. The eraser trick alone was invaluable. Betsy demonstrated adding a texture with a hammer and how to make your own texture hammer. The handout on types of hammers is very useful. Thank you Betsy for sharing your extensive expertise.
