Gunpowder Painting: A New Approach To Wood Burning
Limited Capacity full

After applying a vinyl stencil to a piece of wood we will cover the design space with gunpowder, yes gunpowder!  Then in a safe, designated space, with instructor supervision/assistance, we will set fire to our gunpowder (calm down...the reaction takes less than 3 seconds and is self extinguishing).  

Once the burn is complete we will peel away the vinyl and the result is a custom created wood burned design that can be left as is or embellished to your liking!

Shiny Fine Silver bling earrings with your Silhouette Machine
Limited Capacity filling up

The purpose of my Metal clay class this year is to show you how you can make Fine Silver Jewelry using the Silhouette Curio or Cameo.  I will focus on showing you how I make this happen.  I will also answer your questions on the most inexpensive way to get started in Metal Clay. The class will include demonstrations and overviews and samples. This is not a how-to class, because learning to use the Silhouette to make jewelry is not something you can learn in a 1-hour demonstration class, but it is something you can do if you want to put in some time to learn.

In this class, I will show you how I make beautiful 2 layer earrings with a shiny stone. The class will cover a bit about metal clay construction and I will cut, construct, and fire the earrings in class. You will see the magic happen in front of your eyes.

I will also provide many free and paid resource links to learn more so you can start making your own beautiful jewelry.
