Have you always wanted to let your inner artist come out and play? If you love to try new things, in a safe and completely fun environment, then sign up for a class. In my studio, I have all the materials and instructions you will need to take home a work of art that you created yourself. No experience or special equipment required. The classes feature Art Clay Silver, a wonderful medium for begining to advanced students alike. We will create jewelry and accessories that you can proudly wear and give as gifts. We'll also explore basic beadwork, wire work techniques and jewelry making skills.
** PORTLAND CHAPTER OF THE ART CLAY SOCIETY **
The first meeting of the Portland metro area chapter of the Art Clay Society took place on May 23rd, 2009. This new chapter promotes the use of metal clays in metalsmithing. Interested members must join the USA chapter of Art Clay Society, but no additional dues are charged. We meet quarterly to share ideas, tips and techniques for working with metal clay, and enjoy some social time with like-minded artisans. Contact Debra if you are interested. To join the Art Clay Society, contact www.artclayworld.com.

If you are interested in advanced techniques, I also teach Level One and Senior Level Art Clay Silver Certification workshops. These 3-day classes are available upon request and are scheduled when at least three people express interest. Email or call me to be placed on the list. |
