Alice Stroppel’s
\nStudio 215
\n215 Ridgewood Dr.
\nSebring, FL 33870<\/p>\n

What a whirlwind! One month ago I purchased this wonderful building in Historic downtown Sebring, FL. It’s two blocks from where I grew up and so special to me because it belonged to my great friend Janet King and I hung out there loads of times in recent years.<\/p>\n

I renovated \u00a0the building inside and out. I’ve enjoyed having my studio at home and I will still be working there, but I wanted to spend more time teaching and sharing what I’ve learned about this incredible medium, polymer clay.<\/p>\n

I will be featuring works by \u00a0two of my favorite people, watercolor artists and\u00a0\u00a0Florida Watercolor Society Signature Members, Janet F. King<\/a> and Alice Hansen.<\/p>\n

I have a permanent fully stocked workshop space for 8 students and room to hold larger workshops for up to 16. Pasta Machines, tools, tiles, etc. I’ll be starting classes for both beginners and experienced polymer clayers in January. I will have everything you need to create your first pieces.<\/p>\n

And more exciting news is that I will be hosting workshops with some of the talented polymer and multimedia artists in the country. Meisha Barbee<\/a> and Laurie Prophater will be here teaching in February and Julie Eakes<\/a>,\u00a0master caner,\u00a0\u00a0will be here hanging out with us.<\/p>\n

Meisha was my partner and made the first collaborative pendant with my Stroppel Cane that was featured on Polymer Clay Daily<\/a>. An incredibly talented artist and colorist, you won’t want to miss this workshop.<\/p>\n

Laurie has promised me an exciting class as well. Laurie is the owner of Ornamental Elements .com\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0and has been featured in numerous magazines including\u00a0Belle Armoire and Polymer Clay Cafe.<\/p>\n

Two artists that inspired me in the early days of polymer are coming to Studio 215. Syndee Holt<\/a> has promised to come teach a couple of workshops in May of this year. Syndee is a representative for Sculpey <\/a>and has been featured in more articles and publications than I can mention here. She is the author of Polymer for the First Time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maureen Carlson will be here in 2016. Maureen is owner of Maureen Carlson’s Center for Creative Arts<\/a> in\u00a0Jordan, MN and has a long list of credits from TV to published books. Maureen has her own page <\/a>on Amazon.<\/p>\n

As you can see, I have great plans for Studio 215 and some surprises so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

My posted hours will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11:00am to 3:00pm. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be there most of the time teaching or working on my next big project.<\/p>\n

I’ll be posting classes sometime next week but I can tell you now that I will be having open studio night every Monday from 6pm until 9:30pm, prices to be posted later. This will be a time for you to come and play and share and enjoy the company of other\u00a0enthusiastic clayers.<\/p>\n

Grand opening news to come.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much everyone for your encouragement and kind words.<\/p>\n
