| Hi Everyone! I hope that you are keeping cool in this blistering heat wave. Just because it's hot doesn't mean that we can't be creative. Here are some of the classes planned for this summer. Other's will follow as my mind comes up with them. IMPORTANT....PLEASE NOTE: I'm going to try something a little different this time. Instead of listing 'dates' for classes, I'm only listing prices. If you are interested in any of the classes, PLEASE contact me with the dates that you would be available to take the class. When I have a minimum of 3 students interested in the same class then I will call you to arrange a time and date that is convenient for all. Let's see how this works for now. Many of you were missing out on classes in the past because the dates were not fitting into your schedule. I hope that this might be a solution. Times for classes: Since it is 'summer', that is also flexible. Day or evening classes are fine with me as long as there are at least 3 students and the air conditioner keeps on working. :o) Here are the pics of classes so far: |

| Butterflies Anyone? 1 1/2 hr. class (approx.)...........$12.00 These butterflies look difficult, but they are as simple as pie. I have a 'secret technique' involving a 'clay gun'. No 'two' will ever be the same. You pick your favourite colours of clay, put them together, send them through the 'clay gun' and I'll show you how to create these super designs. Make THREE! Turn them into a magnet, pin and pendant. |

| Madagascar Penquin 1 1/2 hr. class (approx.).......$10.00 You LOVED the movie, now make the character. This will be the 1st character from the movie. Others will follow. Why not start a 'collection'. Great one for 'birthday parties'. |

| Wire Legged Monkey 2 hr. class ..........$15.00 Don't you just get sick of seeing the same old monkey, over and over again? I do. So I decided to 'jazz' him up a bit. He's a biggy. Quite the conversation piece. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wild and Wacky Switchplate 1 1/2 hr. class (approx.) $10.00 Create a one-of-a-kind Switchplate for your room. Pick designs from my many polymer clay 'canes'. Combine checkerboard canes with flower canes and spirals. Whatever you want. Impress your friends. Just let me know what type of switch plate you will require.... double or single toggle. |

| Faux Bone Votive Candle Holder 2 hr. class........$15.00 For all of you who do not know what 'faux' means.....It means 'fake'. It looks like real bone because of a layering of white, translucent and beige polymer clay technique. You may want to try your hand at embellishing it further. Adding a design to each panel would look great too. |

| Junk to Funk Picture Frame with Glass 2 hr. Class.......$12.00 Please note that NO POLYMER CLAY was injured in the making of this frame. Why? Because I didn't use ANY! Ha ha ha! That's right! I used only good old junk.....such as broken shells, nuts and bolts, screws, washer, small pieces of rock, macaroni, old beads and buttons. Anything that has 'texture'. Take a good look at the transformation! I've had so many wonderful comments on this project from family and friends. If you are interested in doing this project........BRING YOUR OWN JUNK! Go on a scavenger hunt in and around your house. You will be amazed at what you can find and it's so much fun. Good hunting! OH.....by the way. This isn't JUST for the kids! |

| Mum's the Word! 1 1/2 hr. project. (approx.).......$12.00 Move over King Tut.......the 'MUMMY' is HERE! Egyptian projects are so popular that I thought this would be good. Thanks Nicole R. for the idea. Yes, he's a little weird, but in a 'cute' way. Totally made from polymer clay and wood. We may even try to do a 'Sphinx' next newsletter. |

| Magnetic Clownfish Aquarium Jar 2 hrs. class..........$12.00 Repeat from last newsletter. This should be a 'fun' project for everyone. You create an underwater scene with clay and paint. But not just an 'ordinary' scene. No no.....it's a 'magnetic' scene, complete with a 'magnetic' clownfish (similar to 'what's his name') that actually swims around the jar. Ooooooooh! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Only one requirement to sign up for this class. You have to 'bring your own JAM JAR'. (Washed and without the label please.) PLEASE NOTE: I already have ONE student signed up. We only need 2 more to do the class. |

| Pen and Holder Set 2 hr. class ........$15.00 Great class for ADULTS! The ink cartridge can be replaced over and over. Not for the younger set. Very sharp blades involved. Learn how to make a flower design in clay. Apply very thin slices of clay to the outside of the pen, bake it and sand it to a glossy finish. Come on out all of you 'PARENTS'. You CAN do it! Please note: I have ONE brave parent already signed up. Bravo! Two more required....come on ladies and gentlemen.....call me! |

| Gargoyles Always a favourite in the studio. 2 hr. class............$15.00 It is virtually impossible to make the same Gargoyle twice. Believe me, I've tried. These characters take on a personality of their own. Come on out and try one. They are like potatoe chips....you can't make just ONE! They make great gifts too, especially if you 'personalize' them. |

| Sunset Painting 2 Classes (4 hrs.) to complete........$25.00 This is the second time that I have offered this type of painting and the results have been spectacular. Using a very limited palette you CAN create a very vibrant painting that will astonish your friends. Come on........give it a try.......You CAN DO IT! |
