Ever wish you could make just one cane and then change its color however you wish to suit any color theme?  I am teaching a new class in Baltimore August 4-5, 2007 that shows just that! I will be returning to Crafter’s Cafe and seeing Sue and the gang, and teaching my newest workshop called “Caning in Monochrome.” It focuses on the concept of value, featuring all black and white canes that are then tinted for a really beautiful hand-colored photo look. If you notice, the purple flowers in the round pendant and the bluish ones in the shield-shaped one are the same cane, but colored differently. Same thing with the small yellow and pink flowers.  Of course, you could leave them black and white as well for a strikingly different look as well.

Although this class sticks with my floral theme, it is a totally new concept in caning and surface design that allows you to use the same canes in different color themes, and works great with geometrics and other types of canes as well.  Click the photo for a larger view.

I will be teaching my 8 From 1: Intensive Flower Caning Workshop with the Orlando Area Polymer Clay Guild on June 9-10. There are a few spots left, so if you would like to attend please contact me through the contact form, or Jeanne who is coordinating the class for the OAPCG. The cost of the class is $130 including the materials fee. The above photo shows the canes Jenny Patterson made in my class earlier this month in Minnesota. I can’t wait to see how she uses them in the beautiful Quilted in Clay pieces!

I’ve returned from Minnesota, where I taught at Maureen Carlson’s Center for Creative Arts.  I had an amazing time: meeting Maureen and also Jenny Patterson, driving along beautiful stretches of highway and of course, spending several days teaching wonderful students at an amazing art space.  If you ever have the chance to take a class at Maureen’s, I wholeheartedly recommend doing it!

Now that I am home, I should be able to get this website going with lots more pics and information before I have to leave again in June to teach in Orlando. Wish me luck!

In the meantime, be sure to check the gallery for a few new images!
