CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
PUT A LITTLE COLOR INTO YOUR ART CLAY LIFE!
Although perfectly polished pure silver is gorgeous, sometimes we all want to spark up our pieces with a little color! In this class, you will learn how
to use a variety of materials to do just that! Using your fired and polished pieces (bring along as many as you want to work on), we will color them
with traditional Liver of Sulphur patinas, other types of patina, thermoset paints and cold enamels.
The cost for this class, which includes all coloring/patina supplies is $50.00.

| ART CLAY BASICS THE EASY WAY! |
"Art Clay Basics the Easy Way" is an intensive 12 hour class taught over 2 days and covers the basic techniques you need to know to make beautiful,
pure silver jewelry. Through the creation of pendants, earrings, and a ring, you will learn how to texture your pieces, use rubber stamps, do fine
"syringe work", set stones, work with glass cabochons and make perfectly sized rings. In addition to "hands on" projects, I also demonstrate a
number of other techniques that you can try at home, as well as introduce you to several "must have" tools.
Classes are scheduled at the convenience of the student. In order to give the student individual attention, the class size is limited to a maximum of
two students.
The total cost for the class (which all the materials needed to complete the projects, as well as a light lunch served on both days) is $300.00.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a class, please phone me at 817 926-7975, or email me at gltrz@sbcglobal.net.
The regularly scheduled monthly class is held on the first weekend of each month. The cost of this class is $300.00 which INCLUDES all the clay you
need and (of course) refreshments and lunch both days.
This class is an excellent value, for both the time and money spent - it is a very wise choice to further your metal clay education! Contact me to

Wanted to thank you for the course. It was great! You have a wonderful way of teaching and showing things, and the pace was
really good. I loved the opportunity to make so many different pieces during the course. Also it was great to be able to ask
different questions during the course. I also showed my mom how to do them and she got totally crazy about it = she loves it!
