Jewelry Making Class!
This class is an adventure in working with precious metal clay to learn beginner techniques to create jewelry designs in Art Clay Silver. Art Clay Silver is a product especially formulated for objects that can be created and fired in the same day with outstanding results. Art Clay Silver is pure fine silver (.999) mixed with water and an organic binder. It is soft and easy to work with simple tools. Art Clay Silver projects can be combined with ceramics, glass fusions, kiln fired enameled, and torch enameled. The creative possibilities are endless! Art clay copper is also available. The techniques covered in this class include how to manipulate the clay, new techniques or to
expand on the skills and experiences previously learned. New techniques covered in this class include how to make and place a tube bail, two sided texturing, and how to bezel set a semi precious gem stone. Other inclusions to add interest could include the addition of small
molded decorative elements to create a variety of design combinations. We will be using a
variety of tools, to support the design such as finishing, sanding techniques, and how to make simple repairs.
Come and join us, and don't forget to bring your lunch!
Screen Printing Fun!
Sandy Lupton will show us how to get loose and creative with screen printing! With this technique, she will show students how to add thickened dye to the screens to capture texture, line and color, then print on paper. Each print will be unique -- as the dye breaks down it changes with each pass. Create abstract backgrounds or amazing figurative monoprints. Students will have the opportunity to create a large body of work in this exciting, fast- paced day-long workshop. Wear old clothes and bring a lunch! All tools and materials are included.
Beginner-level needle-felters are welcome to try this 2-D wool painting with artist Sandee Darden. Create this unique red poppy design to commemorate Veteran's Day, or to add to your collection.
