I love teaching

This fall I was privileged to teach several pendant making classes to high school and adult students. I find sharing information and techniques rewarding and I especially enjoy seeing what each individual does with what they are given. Precious Metal Clay is such a great medium to teach because good results are very quickly achieved with the magic of turning something clay-like to metal by torch firing.  Some people are naturals at designing and perhaps didn’t even know it! Others struggle a bit, working and reworking until they come up with something.  With a little effort each piece turns out with its own charm! It amazes me how different we all are, how differently we learn, apply instructions and share our creativity.

My next scheduled class is January 31st 2010 1-4 at the Cambridge Centre for the Arts. Create at least one pair of earrings and learn about earring findings and how to use them.  Register by calling the Centre for the Arts www.cambridgecentreforthearts.ca 519-740-4681 x 4376

If you are interested in learning PMC or beading and can get a group of 6 or more together I’d love to teach you to make your own wearable art!

Celebrating this green day with a little wildlife! These bird earring are made from Precious Metal clay which is a green medium. Non toxic, no waste, no crazy chemicals and is made of recycled silver. I’m so happy to have found this new way to work. Not only is it healthier for me to work with but the creative design possibilities are endless!
