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.
COOL STUFF FOR WARM GLASS!
Take your glass fusing endeavors to a new level by learning how to make beautiful multi-colored patterns on glass by creating a one-of-a-kind
pendant! The techniques taught in this class are exciting, easy to do and produce absolutely spectacular results! In addition to learning fused glass
painting, I will also show you how to make "sparkle glass", a dramatic addition to your dichroic glass, as well as how to use Art Clay Silver veneer to
make a bezel setting for glass cabochons.
The cost for this class, which includes all supplies and materials is $75.00.
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

and want to simply brush up on your skills. Click here to see a video explaining Art Clay Silver and just how easy it is to create beautiful pure silver

your choice of projects - a pendant, a pair of earrings, or several charms for a bracelet. Whatever project you choose, you will leave the class with a
lovely piece of jewelry to show off to your friends!
This 3 hour class can be scheduled in the morning or afternoon, at the convenience of the student.

"I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful class! It was fabulous. I learned so much. A side bonus is that many of the
techniques apply both to polymer and silver clay. Thanks again!" Susan, 8-18-06
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!
