experiment with your creativity: march 29th

due to popular demand, we are adding another workshop during the month of March. in this workshop you will be able to make anything from cuff links to place card holders to pendants to keychains out of pewter. for 50 dollars, we will cast your original clay design into pewter. a demonstration of the casting process is given at the start of every workshop. after the demonstration, you will create your one design out of a special clay. we then bake the clay and prepare it for the mold making process. due to the time it takes to create molds, we do not cast your particular design that day. we do let students practice the casting process on existing molds. all creations are usually ready in 1-2 weeks.

Date: march 29th

Time: 1-3 pm

Cost: $ 50

desk and bookshelf

Jane Waggoner has just sent over these lovely photos. last year we collaborated with Jane Waggoner, a fabulous interior designer, on the creation and design of a bookshelf and a desk. the substantial, metal bookshelf is fabricated with steel. the shelves are painted a pristine white. this creates an interesting contrast with the existing, natural, steel finish.

the desktop is one of my favorites. first we created a steel border that holds 3 wooden panels. this desk is extremely long. we created the 3 sections not only for visual interest but for support, too. the panels were painted with a high-gloss, turquoise auto paint that you can literally see your reflection in. the desktop is supported by 4 modern filing cabinets jane purchased.

Bracelet Workshop

Brace yourself.

in this workshop you will be making a pewter pendant bracelet with the option of connecting it with chain, leather or beading. first you will create your one pendant design using clay. you will then create the connection with the material of your choice. shannah and i will make a mold, then cast and polish your pewter piece and then connect the pendant to the bracelet. this process takes much more time than the workshop provides, but we will give you a demonstration of the casting process. your bracelet will be ready for pick up in 1 to 2 weeks.
