​ "possibilities" ~ (full day)
​
The possibilities are endless when you release your inner artist!  Mak will discuss her creative process and design techniques to help get imaginations stirring.  Then using a simple template (such as the posted image) as a starting point, you can develop a unique piece based on your personal artistic esthetic.  With your specially selected cabochon, you will learn/reinforce bezel setting, soldering techniques, forming and texturing.  Bracelet?  Pendant?  Ring?  The choice is yours and with Mak's guidance, possibility becomes reality!

Simple Gifts ~ (full day)

This workshop will explore the countless possibilities of forming beautiful beads out of metal clay.  Using gold/bronze clay, artists will learn the basics of metal clay work and practice texturing and forming lentil beads (like the one pictured).  Other 3 dimensional bead techniques will be presented as well as exploration of additional design and embellishment possibilities.  Beads will be kiln fired, tumble polished and ready for hanging and gift giving!
