Day 1 - Woven in Clay

Create a beautiful cane reminiscent of Navaho Indian patterns using techniques inspired by Bargello needlework and Seminole Strip Piecing.  Students will create multiple components which they'll asemble into complex cane forms used to create a striking and elegant pendant.

Day 2 - What's Hiding in Your Craft Room?  Techniques to Dye For!

Got stuff?  If you're anything like me, you do.  Polymer clay's versatility somehow leads to the acquisition of lots of other craft supplies.  Start digging out all those inks, paints, powders and any of the other products you've bought even if you're not sure why you have them or what to do with them.  This fun and relaxing technique-driven class is sure to unleash your creativity and leads to lots of new discoveries.  In addition to all the sample tiles you'll make, you can choose your favorite class technique to create an easy and impressive new pendant.
