New Workshops!
If you are in the Columbus Ohio area ,
my workshops are now available for registration
at "Artiscape" !
Here is the fun stuff we will be getting into ...
"A Mother's Love Pendant"
In this workshop we will be creating 2 different
methods of metal bezel making ! For the first we
will be working with beautiful vintage broken china and creating a
deep shrine bezel for our assemblage.
Next we will be creating a gorgeous metalwork bezel
inside!
Lot's of fun metalworking and exploration.
Feel free to bring tiny elements to add to your own shrine :)
Metalwork Madonna Workshop
Come and embark on a metal working journey !
while you create your own
one-of-a-kind necklace.
Create a gorgeous hand-wrought metal cross with a
beautifully adorned center bezel featuring a vintage Madonna image
(feel free to bring your own photo, if desired).
You will learn to use a
jeweler's saw to create shapes from sheet metal. Techniques for
texturing metals, soldering, adding patinas, bezel forming, wire
wrapping, metal stamping and applying protective finishes will be
taught.
You can register for these and all of the great workshops offered
on the Artiscape site
If you are not in the Mid West, not to worry!
I am working on several online workshops as we speak .
No need to load up the truck for the long haul , when
you can create in your jammies :)
More on the new workshops soon!
I came home from our trip to Marco and Sanibel islands for our 24th
anniversary , (yes 24!)
well rested , and creatively recharged.
I did have one deep disappointment when I
arrived home to find an invidual had copied
one of my workshops.
I know it happens all of the time to lots and lots
of artists. But, it hurts when you spend sooo much time
researching materials, developing methods, and have someone come in
and do that, and profit from all of your hard work.
I am moving on past it though.
Luckily, there are so many more things in my
head , and sketchbooks,
waiting to be created,
I shouldn't waist
precious time in life
dwelling on what is done.
I will be posting some brand new metal creations for Valentines day,
on my Etsy store
Sunday Night!
Preview on blog first :)
See you then, have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings
