Beginner Art Clay Intensive

Instructor: Heather Bell Denison & Jennifer Tough

Join us for a fun filled weekend of everything Art Clay. no experience necessary! We'll start the weekend with a basic introduction to Art Clay products, and a simple project to get your feet wet. Over the weekend, we'll cover and practice making pendants, working with the syringe (filagree), making beads, and toggle clasps. We'll also introduce you to ring making during your final project.

The small class size, combined with two instructors will allow you plenty of opportunity for one on one instruction and assistance.

Instructor: Jennifer was born in Toronto, Canada, and has made jewellery since the age of 16. She discovered lampwork/flamework techniques in 1999, and by the end of that same year, established a small studio in her own home. By the end of the following year she had gone further to establish the first beadmaking lampwork studio, open to the general public, in all of Canada. Jennifer has always had an intense passion for her art, combined with a keen and focused vision to bring the elements to reality. She is now excited about the possibilities of combining metal clay with lampwork beads. Jennifer has been a Certified Art Clay Instructor for over 6 years.
