I have decided to schedule Friday, March 16th to fullfill this class for you. If everything goes as planned with my health, I should be able to handle the physical demands of a class. If you are interested in taking this class please contact me via email. I look forward to seeing my clay gang again!

Thank you all!

A big thank you to all of my fantastic students! I relished every moment we spent at the round church tables. Everyone created some beautiful pieces. I was inspired by the variety I found in color choices and application of skill and technique. The time we spent seemed to fly by as we all learned about each other and polymer clay. I was also proud of how well my first time students absorbed the information.

I am considering dates for my next class and would appreciate your participation in the poll on the side bar. Comment your ideas for class projects as well.

See You Tomorrow!

Hey Clay Gang!

I cant wait to spend time playing clay with you!

Polymer By The River

I hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did. I was in Boneparte, IA participating in their fall art show. I had a wonderful time playing clay in the sunshine and sharing my passion with the passers by. I was thrilled to to take second place in the art show! Displaying my ribbon gave me a wonderful boost! Praise God! If you were one of the new friends I made and have a hand made bead of your own or one of my pieces, I thank you for spending time with me! If you saw a piece that you loved but had the self control to walk away... If you can't stop thinking about it... Contact me. I may still have your favorite.

Many of you were interested in taking my latest polymer clay class. So... Here are some details. We will be making pens that will make great gift ideas for this Christmas season. Tuition is $40 total minus $15 to reserve your seat. I provide all the supplies you need. Just bring your hands and a great attitude! the class starts at 6pm at The Church @ 4th and Washington in downtown Ottumwa on October 21st. If you are interested in enjoying this class, please contact me ASAP so that I can reserve your seat. Sarah.ziegler1@gmail.com

Hey Clay Gang!

FYI---- I wanted to update all of my devoted students! I had originally planed to host an August class. However, due to scheduling and family commitments an August class is out of the question. I have scheduled a date for September 9th at 5:00 pm. We will meet at the basement of The Church @ 4th and Washington in downtown O'town. If you are interested in participating in this class please contact me via email at sarahziegler1@gmail.com

There is a $15 prepay to reserve your seat and if you are unable to attend, you forfeit your prepay. The total price for the class is $40. The remaining $25 is due on or before the day of the class.

Your tuition will afford you all of the supplies and tools needed to complete a one of a kind Stretchy Bangle. This project has several embedded skills that can be applied to other projects. You will also receive expertly written directions that include a picture diary of the steps described to enhance your understanding of the concepts presented.
