Seasoned artist and author Barbara McGuire will offer her unique approach to this millennium old technique as applied to polymer. The secrets lie in the ingredients and design building processes. Students will also learn to create unique tools used to create patterns in the resulting polymer surface design. Class projects will include barrel beads and earring components. This is an intermediate class requiring students to be familiar with fundamental use of polymer and blades.

Color is a visual feast. Many artists state "Color is my thing." You are invited to discover more of 'your thing' in this virtual blending party. It's a casual lesson via Zoom in the comforts of your own studio. Thanks goodness we can mute the pasta machines!
Starting from scratch you will learn the techniques Barbara has utilized and taught for over 25 years. Seeing color change in your hands is believing! There's sure to be some 'ah-ha' moments in this class designed to build a color foundation for all your polymer projects.
Please note - this class requires all users to have primary experience with polymer clay, it's tools and application practices. Please further note - this class focuses on blending 'by design' . It is Barbara's personal theory and does not teach color theory! Finished project is a collection of blended sheets. We will also approach creating canes for a spiral bead set.
Registration via Eventbrite - Sunday Dec. 6 3-5pm EST & Wednesday Dec. 9, 6-8pm Each session is $25
