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.

A Great Clay Day!
It seems that any time girls get together around clay they have a ball! Our last clay day was heaven come to earth! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves tremendously and created wonderful works of art. I would like to take a moment to say thank you to all of my students, both past, present and future, for your dedication to this medium and to exploration. You are all so fabulous! I encourage you to keep experimenting and make sure you all bring your work to class so that you can dazzle us with your talent and growth. The next class will be late in August. Dates will be finalized soon. Stay tuned....
I wanted to share some fantastic news! Kyla Hernandez, an O'Town Ploymer Clay Artisan (and my personal hero), is now a published artist! She had some of her work published in Adventures in Bookbinding by Jeannine Stein author of Rebound. The book is available through Boarders, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. If you click on the preview of the book you can see one of hers on page 6. It is the green cover with the pink cherry blossoms. The full write up is on page 83. This is a BIG deal and we should all congratulate her for this wonderful recognition! Check out her Blog at http://khernandezart.blogspot.com/
I also want to throw out an idea for my next advanced class.... I thought that we might do a swap of some sort. I would like us all to create 16-24 beads in a color theme at home using all of your creative genius and then bring them to class for a swap. We will all have beads that we can share that are in a color family. They will create an eclectic blend of genius that we can combine with our advanced project. You will use our previous lessons and any other skills that you have learned, create 16-24 beads that are your one of a kind works of art, bring them to the class and share 2 with each of you class mates. So start thinking about your design now. Think Blues and Greens.... Try to incorporate skinner blends, cane work, and interesting bead shapes, and try to make you beads between 1/2 inch and 1 inch in diameter.
I cant wait to see what you have created! Good luck and God Bless!

Clay Days Rock!!
We had another fantastic day of playing with clay! I enjoyed working with very competent students and we created some beautiful pieces. I am ashamed to say that i do not have any pictures to share with you. I was hoping that my students would sent me photos of them strutting in their works of art. Sadly, i received none...:( Oh well! Anyway, we learned the ancient technique of Mokume Gane. It was amazing to me how fabulous and unique each piece was. I am constantly in awe of the variety that emanates from one class all using the same technique. What wonderful works of art!
Planning for a June Class! More information to come!
Blessings!

I hate to break it to you!!
I had a wonderful time hanging out with the Championship bowlers this weekend at Bridge City Bowl in O'town. I met some "Spicy" gals and enjoyed sharing my wearable art with them. They took advantage of the first time unveiling of my newest collection called "Riches". The problem is that now i need to get busy building up my inventory again. This new Collection is so much fun. Each piece is composed of coin like disks that connect to each other creating a regal quality that inspires envy. As this collection develops, you will see reversible pieces that emerge, like the piece below, which allow the wearer to rock two looks in one fabulous piece. Keep your eyes open for the newest pieces in coming posts and shows. I hate to break it to you all, but the pieces you see here were purchased before i could get them posted. As i always say, "Get them while you can!"
