Dan Cormier & Tracy Holmes are pleased to announce a series of 'Spring Break' workshops, in their first-ever teaching trip to Florida and Georgia this March 2009. Although they have been a professional teaching team in the polymer clay community since 1996, and have taught their original techniques for this medium in eight countries, Dan and Tracy have never managed to make it to the southeast corner of the US. Plans for their debut trip to this region started when they were chosen for the faculty of the 2009 Orlando Clay Fandango Retreat, located this year at a beautiful beachfront hotel in historic St. Augustine. Honoured to join fellow teachers Christi Friesen, Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg, and Penni Jo Couch, Dan & Tracy are looking forward to making this year's Fandango fan-tastic, presenting their flagship workshop for creating decorative veneers, 'The Cutting Edge,' and Tracy's class for making the most 'unreal' polymer cay pebbles, 'A Day at the Beach' (an obvious choice for this oceanside venue!). NEWSFLASH! These classes are SOLD OUT. Dan and Tracy start their tour in Tampa, where 'The Cutting Edge' is being paired up with 'Building Better Beads,' a 2-day workshop that presents unique ways to turn an idea into an object: well-conceived, well-made, and well-finished. Each of these classes work on their own, but taking them both is also an excellent way to explore a full repertoire of Dan's structural and decorative techniques, a true immersion and a retreat in itself. NEWSFLASH! This session of 'Building Better Beads' is SOLD OUT.For the last weekend of their teaching schedule, Dan and Tracy have just added three days in Atlanta, offering 'A Day at the Beach' and 'The Cutting Edge.' These workshops are sponsored by the Greater Atlanta Polymer Clay Guild, and will be hosted at Barbara McGuire's lovely Art Estate Studio near Lake Lanier in Buford. Another debut destination (and one that likely won't be on their schedule again for a while), this is a rare opportunity for anyone in Georgia or the neighbouring states to join Dan and Tracy for one or both of these workshops. Please note, spaces are limited. Here is the complete schedule: FLORIDA Thu.Mar.5 - Fri. Mar.6.09 The Cutting Edge Tampa, FL Sat.Mar.7 - Sun.
