New Class This Morning

I taught a class this morning in Precious Metal Clay. This was the first of four classes, my Introduction to Precious Metal Clay, where they will learn different projects each week using this special clay. I love the first class because sharing the discovery of this amazing material with other people always gives me a thrill. I love to show them the process, I love having them create something and then at the end of class for them to be able to go home with a piece of fine silver jewelry they made themselves. They are thrilled as am I. They can hardly wait til next week, and frankly, neither can I. ..Next week, we'll make a hollow bead, and yup, I gave them homework. ha ha! Just something small.

Fine Friends and Fine Silver Party

Here's an idea for a Girls' Night Out Party! Invite your friends to come join you at THE LOFT Art Studios and Gallery, and with the help of me, the instructor, you can spend an evening creating a piece of fine silver jewelry. It's a great way to catch up on old friends, and to experience a new medium in a casual setting amongst friends. You leave with a piece of "I made it myself" jewelry! Give me a call to book your party. $40 per person includes a small package of PMC, use of equipment and supplies, and if you book a party of four or more, you can come free!

Huntress Expressions

Today is the first day of posting a blog all by myself. I have a studio, Huntress Expressions, and an art Gallery, THE LOFT Art Studios and Gallery, where I do my art jewelry and teach classes in Precious Metal Clay. It's Superbowl Sunday and since I am here in Scottsdale Arizona, my team is the Cardinals. I'll be leaving work here at my studio soon and will plant myself in front of the television set with something in my hands, probably some knitting, while I relax with a football game and those greatly anticipated commercials.

No teaching class today but this week is filled with classes from guest instructors and myself. I am starting a Precious Metal Clay class on Wednesday morning 10am to 1pm, which will go on for four sessions. Learn all the basics of working with this great medium to make fine silver jewelry. I love teaching people who have not yet seen this fine silver clay and to see the surprise on their faces when it becomes a viable piece of fine jewelry!

Mary has her chain maille classes this week and will show the latest patterns that you can make just by linking jump rings to each other. This week is Byzantine pattern and the Half Persian Pattern.
