I’ve been spending some time developing a class for beginners, beginner caners that is. I know so many clayer that haven’t made a cane or weren’t very successful at caning and just gave up. I also know many people that are interested in learning more about polymer clay, but don’t know where to start.
Marty Montague and Karen Johnsnon from Beads, F.O.B. in Sarasota, FL attended my pen and ink class last month and saw some of my colorful beads and asked if I would teach a caning class in Sarasota. Polymer clay is the perfect compliment to beads of all kinds. Creating a focal bead from polymer and pairing it with other elements gives the beaded an even greater ownership of a piece. I’ll be truly excited to see what the beaders from Marty’s shop will create after this workshop
I’ll be teaching the two day workshop on Aug. 20th and 21st. Learn more in my class section, or download this pdf for all the information. To register for this workshop call Beads, F.O.B. at 941-921-0871.
These are a few of the samples I’ve been making from to basic Skinner blends that I will be teaching in this workshop. Each new caner will walk away with enough canes to make hundreds of different pieces and because it’s a two day workshop, there will be time to create lots of beads or pendants before we all go home.
Come on a join me, we’re going to have a blast.
Hi – I’m hoping this will be a good class for beginners. I’ve been wanting to dive back into polymer clay for quite some time now and am thinking this might be just the kick-start I need. Do you feel comfortable having someone in the class that hasn’t touched the medium in years?
Thanks!
Christine
Hi Christine, You are the perfect person for this class. It will bring your clay muse back , plus it will give you knowledge and lots of colorful canes to keep you creating when you get home. All those cool things about polymer clay that drew you to in the first place are still waiting for you. Hope to see you there, Alice
