For this class, we will use both clear and opaque, glass and/or stone tiles. From start to finish you will create two (2) pendants, front and back sides, and take them home with you. You may bring embellishments, or use some which are provided. The class cost is $25. Joan sells these pendants from $21 to $27 each. You will leave with two pendants of your own creation.
The basics of card making, plus an introduction to simple tools will be taught in this hands-on experiential class. You will create one-of-a-kind cards you'll be proud to send or give. We'll feature photos, and/or stamping on these cards. All materials are provided. Optionally, you may bring your photos as desired. The class fee is $30 for up to five cards. Envelopes are included. Make as many as you desire in 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

This class covers the basics for using alcohol ink and various techniques to be used on the surfaces of two dominoes. These will become two pendants you take home.
Embellishments are optional. Joan has some she will provide, however, you may bring anything you like that fits on a domino. A painted domino made into a pendant or magnet, without embellishing, makes a beautiful statement.
All materials are provided for the class fee of $25.
Prior knowledge of working with Alcohol Ink on any surface is required to take this class. Here we will introduce blending solution and learn how to work with it for a "marbled" effect. You can bring a plain white glazed ceramic vessel (and lid if applicable) and leave with it having been painted & glazed once. If you cannot find a white vessel you may purchase one of Joan's findings, inexpensively, on the day of the class. Examples will be on hand and Joan will demonstrate as well. All supplies necessary are included in the $30 class fee,except for the ceramic vessel. This will take approximately three hours of class time, depending on you and it's not a race to finish!
The Artist Way Classes: This series of classes offers intentional interaction between creative people engaged in a variety of art forms. Here we are in the middle of an ice breaker exercise, but mostly we aren't quite so physical. It also requires that during classes you read a chapter each week from Julie Cameron’s book titled “The Artist’s Way”. I combine a couple of classes and make it 10 classes of 1 ½ hours each. Class is held weekly beginning mid-January, which has been a great time for my past two classes. These were attended by guys and gals numbering a total of 24 participants.Cost: $75 Scholarships available.
#1 Glass and Tile or Alcohol Ink Pendants
Come alone or with kids who will love to make either Pendants (3) or Magnets (4) Mix up (4) as Holiday Gifts or to wear! You will leave with 3 to 4 gift items of your creation for a class fee of $40. This is a 3-hour class where the basics of using alcohol inks will be reviewed or learned for the first time, and where Joan is available for all questions. Your painted products will have one coat of sealant and will be sent home with you to dry overnight.

In addition my photography, some framed, some just matted, many mounted as cards. Also, many Pendants, Earrings, Ceramics, Collage Cards and a few surprises!
Small classes are great for making new friends or bringing one with you. Small classes also make for camaraderie, light conversation, concentration, and laughter, and get energy going for some wonderful creations. At times we get very quiet when in the zone.
