At
our May Clay Day we will have the annual Round Robin.
There
will be several sessions simultaneously; each one for
1
hour with a 20 minute break until the next round to reorganize and breathe.
You
can choose as many as 4 sessions, however, it is possible that sessions
that what you chose will overlap in
time
and you will not be able to take all the demos that you wanted. Registration
will be on site on a
first
come-first served basis. If you do not email me your preference,
the session that you are
interested
in might be canceled due to low demand.
Each
session is $10.

 Really
Righteous Finger Rings
Dotty McMillan |
Fast and easy polymer clay
rings with a dramatic flair. Dainty or bodacious, dramatic or subtle,
soft and shimmering, or bright and bold, so many choices students will
find it difficult to decide which they want to make. Rings are carefully
sized to fit the individual fingers.
The demo portion will take
about a half-hour. Then each one will make the clay part of the ring.
At the end of the hour the rings go into the oven. After the
demo and once the clay part of the rings are baked and cool I'll have the
cord, drill, and everything else to assemble and fit the ring, at my workspace.
Or participants can take their piece home and finish it there.
Please bring regular
clay tools.
I'll supply the cord, clay,
textures, molds, powders, etc. |

Caning
Kelly Steindorf |
| Beginning Caning Techniques
will be a hands-on demo. I want to show as many canes building basics
I can in the hour we have. Please precondition any clay you plan to work
with in the demo. Premo or Kato are best. Sculpey is too soft
for successful caning.

used an old bead tube that was 5/8 of an inch.

Complex Caning |
This class is
designed to teach you how to plan and pack your cane to get a successful
result after reducing it even with a complex design. I will supply
patterns for your choice of design. You may use logs
created in the beginning caning
class to create a more complex design in this class. The first part
of the class will be a demo you will be able to start your own cane which
you can finish later.
Please bring:
Conditioned clay (Premo, Fimo,
or Kato) in 1 light, 1 dark and an accent color ( Example: Ecru, Black,
Turquoise)
