I confess. I’m new at this. But there’s no doubt about it. It’s alchemy and it’s wonderful. You shape clay and put it through the fire (torch or kiln) and it transforms itself into fine silver (or gold or bronze)!
I’ve taken two classes now with Cindi Shaffer of Astral Glass Studio and I’m totally hooked. The first one was offered at Prescott’s Whiskey Row Bead It! bead shop and all I can say is “thank you!”
I just ordered some “stuff” from Whole Lotta Whimsy to make my Precious Metals Clay experiences on my own more fruitful and I’ll be picking up my order while I’m in Tucson to save on shipping. Pix to come (promise).
Whimsy is owned and operated by Sharon Dickerson and Tonya Davidson. Tonya teaches PMC for Rio Grande and will be doing a certification level 1 class in Prescott in June at Karen van Price‘s studio. The exact dates are yet to be announced, but you can be sure I’ll be there! By the way, that’s my granddaughter, Becky Lockwood, running with some of the kids at Karen’s Kid’s Clay Class pix on Karen’s blog. To keep up with classes, subscribe to Karen’s blog and you’ll be in the know. Maybe I’ll see you there?
What about a picture of what you made? I can’t wait to see it and to take the class myself.
