New Work

We just had a wonderful housefull of family and friends for the week-end. Now it's back to Relics & Artifacts, some new work that is a combination of various metals, textures, colors, and designs. It's fun to create an entire new line. Pics coming soon.

Basic PMC

We had a full class plus this last week-end at Brookfield Craft Center. We started with 8, and jumped to 9 by noon. All had a successful, fun week-end creating original work with Precious Metal Clay. An Advanced class about surface texture, molds, and Solar Plates, takes place at BCC on Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Great way to spend a Halloween Week-end.

Brookfield Craft Center Classes

Brookfield Craft Center open house is Sunday, Sept. 6, from 1-4. I will demo Precious Metal Clay, PMC, and answer questions about all the upcoming PMC classes to be held at Brookfield, in October. It will be a great day to meet the instructors, see how work is created, and tour the Brookfield campus. See you there!

Etsy

My friend Julie, received an order for 10 pieces of one quite expensive item. Beware of a buyer, whose name you can't pronounce, without a checkbook, whose e-mail address doesn't match their name, and wants to transfer money directly to your account.

Trunk Shows

Very interesting to note that some top designers are choosing to do Trunk Shows at galleries that sell their work, INSTEAD of some of the big wholesale shows. It's advertised as "Rare Personal Appearances" of a particular jeweler, to show their new work. Everyone is adapting and shifting.
