I just listed a few new workshops for May and the beginning of June.
I’ll be teaching beginning canes on May 7 and again on the 28th.
Black and white cuff bracelet on May 14.
A fun new workshop on weed pots on May 21. I’m working on other characters to add to the birds, but of course you can make design your own too.
And a great all day workshop of building your cane inventory on June 2.
I’m ready for my Cane Mapping workshop tomorrow. This Crab is ready to frame and the fish pendant is finished too.
There is still one more space left if you want to have some fun. Just Leave a message here and I’ll set a place for you.
Marie Segal will be at Studio 215 on Friday February 12th from 7pm until 9pm with a trunk show of her work. There will be items for sale and Marie with be doing a demo with polymer clay.
Marie has been working and playing with clay since 1971, she introduced the polymer world to the pasta machine. She teaches around the country and this February she’ll be teaching at Studio 215.
She and her husband Howard own the Clay Factory serving the polymer community since 1980.
Her Disk Earrings, new design, new innovation workshop is full, but you can still be added to the waiting list.
She is also teaching a wonderfully fun and inventive workshop, Iconic Fabrication. Marie is so enthusiastic about this workshop she is fairly bubbling. There are spaces left, but it’s only a month away, so don’t delay.
Marie is providing everything for both workshops and I’m providing the tools and equipment, so all you have to do is show up. Easy!
I’m looking forward to having Marie here and I hope to see you as well.
I’ll be teaching a beginners caning workshop on Friday a Nov. 20th. Several people didn’t want to wait until after Christmas, I love that!
I have room for more students. Call 863-402-4652 to reserve your place.

I had my first Charming Canes workshop (thanks Cynthia Tinapple and Polymer Clay Daily for the name) this past weekend and I really believe everyone had a good time and learned a lot. At least they all came back day #two with smiles on their faces.
I worked on a color palette for this workshop using mainly Premo Cobalt Blue, Fuchsia, and Zinc Yellow. Then all colors where Skinner blended with white. I was pleased with the results. Just look at the charms this group created. It really was a greatly satisfying workshop for me.
Thanks to the support of my community and my friends and fellow clayers from around the country, my studio is doing very well and I’m having the best time. Such a lucky girl.
My inaugural Charming Canes workshop is next weekend and I wanted these charms to be colorful yet a tad softer than my usual pallet. So I decided to provide the clay and the color recipes with the workshop.
I spent almost everyday this last week figuring out the recipes and making more cane samples. I think I’m ready with that part. *g* But I still want to make more finished samples.
Can you tell I’m having a blast?
I have an ulterior motive for making so many, I will be teaching at the Houston Guild’s Lone Star Retreat in Sept. and the San Diego Guild’s Sandy Camp Master Class in Oct. and I want to have lots of goodies to take with me.
I’ll be teaching my Caning Mapping technique at both retreats, I’m really looking forward them. How lucky am I?
I’ve always said that pc was addictive and it’s certainly true with these “charming” canes. Not only I’m I going to have fun making new things, but just think of the cool scraps and left over bits and how many different ways I can use them.
Many things to do and never a dull moment.
