Description:
This creative group is open to beginners and advanced students alike that have an interest in Precious Metal Clay, a thirst to learn, and a wild imagination. Each class will feature a demo highlighting a new technique. I'll work my hardest to make sure you leave more informed than when you came, providing tips, tricks, and handouts on the newest developments. You'll always meet a great group of people for a truly creative and relaxing environment. Also provided are light snacks and an afternoon tea, but you're more than welcome to bring some snacks of your own to share.
Class includes all tools and equipment, handouts, firing and expert instruction. There will be 2 kiln firings a day, approximately 1:00 & 3:00. An end of the day firing is also available for people that want to pick up their piece at a later time, and finish working on their piece at home. PMC and supply orders are made in bulk by the date listed with each class below. Ask for a supply list when registering. Other consumables will be available for sale: PMC & PMC extras, sandpaper, polishing cloth, wire, beads, chains, etc.

Hotglass beads, otherwise known as lampwork beads, are formed in the flame of a blazing torch. This is a mesmerizing process where Italian moretti glass rods are melted to the consistency of honey and manipulated into different shapes and decorated with more glass, pixie dust, and precious metal foils. This is a one to one class in which glass techniques, safety, and anealing are discussed and practiced. Expect to have lots of fun with this relaxing art form!
