It's like she has these magical hands that whatever she sets her hands to create instantly turns into something very beautiful!
If you personally know me, you'd know that I choose the workshops I take very seriously.
I want to be able to take a certain course from the best teacher there is...
And to decide whether to join a workshop or not conducted by Ghie is a no brainer -- it's 101% a GO!
This is why even if I'm not really a morning person, more so is fond of doing long travels if its not for vacation trips or joy rides... together with two of my clay friends, I had the strong will to wake up super early and set off to Angeles City, Pampanga last March 10, 2012 to attend a workshop with Ms Ghie Malig, the pretty and super creative woman behind Trinket Tales.
When my friends and I decided to have the workshop, I got very excited and immediately sent a personal message to Trinket Tales' FB account. Ms Ghie replied at short notice and we were able to finalise everything. Talking to her reminds me so much of my 1st clay mentor, Rocky of Rockybeads, for me they do have a lot of things in common -- they're both very kind, warm and easy to talk to. She also asked me of the things me and my friends would like to learn out of the workshop, which for me is a very important quality in a teacher.
Now here's a couple of photo I took with my friends during our stop over on our way to the venue...

If you're starting to wonder how the workshop went, let our photos speak for itself:
Mentor wise I can say that Ms Ghie is one of the best there is!
Not only was she able to help us improve our crafts but she made sure that we enjoyed the whole time we were there too!
Aside from the lunch she prepared, she also made this uberly yummy cookies for us...
It was so yummy that I had to ask her if I can order for my family, haha!
Now here's us while working...
And on to the juicy part -- our creations...
A closer look at each of the projects...
Lesson wise, it was very well prepared.
We were able to cover everything we came there to learn! Ms Ghie was able to make what seemed too complicated for us to do so easy. We came home overflowing with new learnings!

I, and I'm sure both my friends too, really learned a lot!
The long travel and money for the travel + workshop fees spent were all totally worth it!

So if you want to experience it yourself and learn as much as we did OR if you're not interested in clays but would like to own a one of a kind accessory, then head on to her site HERE.
I give this workshop a 5/5 stars.
