Share your love with a handmade Valentine's card and learn this lovely paper crafting technique you can use again and again. Instructor Phyllis Shoemaker will share how she makes her handcrafted paper cards (sold at the Co-op)! You'll leave with a beautiful card AND the supplies to make a second card at home.
In this class, students use enameled copper and graphite pencils to create a unique drawing. With the use of glass etching cream, the white enameled copper becomes a canvas that the soft graphite fuses with when fired in the kiln.
The fired piece can be painted with watercolor enamels and fired again, or can be left as a black and white piece, depending on time. Students are encouraged to bring a picture or design as inspiration for their work, or they can use stencils that we have available.
Stained Glass artist Jane Kunkler will lead students in completing the basic steps of Tiffany style stained glass to create a Stained Glass Valentine.

Learn basic watercolor skills while creating some lovely small pieces you can frame! You'll learn fundamental techniques to make the water work for you.

Using paint enamels is a little different than painting on canvas. However, once you learn the technique, you will be able to create images in enamels that have a painterly style. You will learn how to mix enamel paint powders, layout your image, and apply the paint enamels. This course will be taught by special guest instructor Jennifer McCracken.
Students will choose a Sterling spoon or fork from the instructor's collection and decide to make a ring, earrings OR pendant during this 3 hour class. This class is suitable for those 13 years and up.
We invite anyone who has tried or regularly enjoys enameling to join enameling instructor Cathy Holley for a relaxed open studio session where you can play with and share your favorite techniques with other enameling lovers. We can supply enamels and copper for those who need them or bring your own supplies for a lower fee. Choose the seat type that suits your situation best. Sign up today for a great opportunity to share with and learn from others!
Feel free to bring any food and drinks that you’d like. Times listed are when the studio will be available, but you are welcome to come in later or leave earlier. Fees, however, will remain the same. Ages 18+.
