Silver Clay Class
Bill Houston introduced us to this amazing new art form. Developed in the 1990's, this art form starts as recycled precious metal and is then impregnated into clay form. This allows the user to work in the flexible clay form to create their works of art. Once the clay is completely dried, it is then fired and the clay burns off leaving only the 99.99% pure silver which retains its original shape with minimal shrinkage. Bill will provide the class with all materials and training to create their own pure silver necklace with a lavender design.
Class times have been expanded to allow each individual to get the opportunity to develop a beautiful work of art. Morning and Afternoon classes will be offered to give you a full day of experience in developing your silver making skills.
Cost $25

Lavender is the inspiration behind this wonderful craft project that combines the elements of Lavender with the papermaking art and scrapbooking design. Emily Cook will be leading the class and each class member will not only learn how to make their own lavender paper, but will go home with a delightful handmade card of their own design. This sounds like a lot of fun to me. Morning and Afternoon classes are being offered and class time has been expanded to allow for the student to fully develop their skills.
