I'm BACK!    Hope everyone had a great holiday season.  I've been really busy
since Christmas.  I'm happy to announce that 3 of my projects will be on display in
Atlanta, Georgia at the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show.   This is the
LARGEST craft trade show in the WORLD! They will promoting Sculpey clay in the
Polyform booth at the show. The very famous actor, 'Henry Winkler' (The Fonz) will
also be there speaking on keeping the arts alive in shcools.  "Way ta go Fonzie".

Well, time to check out February's classes.  Remember, if the times or dates are
not convenient for you...give me a call.  I will do my best to fit you in as long as
there are 3 students minimum.

Painting with Clay
(No Paint)
Limited to 8 students.
Create an actual 3D painting on 'glass' using clay instead of paint.   The pasta
machine makes the background sunset quite easy, but you will need some
muscles to crank that machine.
Create trees, animals, whatever you like.  Let your imagination take over.
I'll give you lots of tips for your projects.

Nicole R. will recognize the scene in my picture.   We painted the same scene,
on paper, last week.

"I've Arrived in 2005" Frame
Tell the whole WORLD who you are in 2005.
Surround this frame with things that are important to YOU!  Your pets, your
hobbies, like art, music, soccer, baseball, etc.  
Create them out of clay and then paint the frame in your favourite colour.
As you can tell by my frame, I love painting, flowers, fishing and CATS!
