DESIGNING WITH IRIDIZED GLASS $150 plus $35 lab & materials
CHARLEEN ROMINE, Guest Instructor
YEAHHHHHHH! We finally convinced Charleen to come and share her extensive knowledge of this technique with us. Using 2 layers of glass that have iridescent surfaces, create your own "hologram effect" by etching designs in both surfaces. Besides Charleen's amazing artistic skills, she brings to the table the ability to teach the art of making your own fabulous stencils. The class is divided into 2 parts; the first class is making 6x6 tiles to learn the technique and develop your own style. The second part is to create a larger piece of art using what you have learned. No experience necessary. $50 deposit required.

You may have heard about PMC but are not sure if it is something that you can use or would be interested in. It looks, feels, and works like clay. After firing the PMC, all the organic binders burn out and you are left with fine silver. This workshop is an introduction to PMC and will be project oriented. You will create, dry, fire, and polish. No clay or jewelry experience necessary.

Bring your completed PMC pieces to be embellished. Kilns and tumblers will be provided. Everyone should leave with at least one high quality, professional piece.
