*formerly known as the National Polymer Clay Guild

Featuring: Ronna Sarvas Weltman

Fri Feb 27 & Mon March 2

6 – 9pm   

Ronna Sarvas Weltman will introduce you to the unique properties and possibilities of polymer clay. You will learn a variety of polymer clay techniques including: beadmaking, custom color mixing, marbleizing, caning, and embellishing with a surprisingly large array of materials. Participants are encouraged to bring tools and materials for wirework, metalwork, beading, fiber, paper, painting and other mediums they currently work with – as you will explore combining, and completing your work with polymer clay. Ronna’s classes are joyful and relaxed – expect to play hard, color outside the lines – and push your artistic limits!

HMMMM ...... Is there a reason we are wrapping Ronna’s Polymer Clay class around Patrik Kusek's Bronze Clay class? You bet: You could come to either class, and walk away smarter. But you might just want to attend BOTH classes – and explore the compatibility of these mediums. How they inform one another…consider the intentionality of combining polymer and bronze clay in your work….oh, and if you register for both classes, you save $25.
