clay garden pendants at the Torpedo Factory

This Saturday, from 12 to 4PM, I will be helping folks of all ages make (free) lovely polymer clay garden pendants. Come see me at what they're calling the Clay Pendants Project. I'll be at The Mobile Art Lab at the Torpedo Factory and we'll make lovely, colorful pendants, dusted with beautiful shades of powdered pigment for a touch of metallic bling.

More Colorful Collage Creatures

The great thing about a good project is that you can do it over and over again, as long as the kids are new. My Thursday group hadn't made jointed collage animals inspired by the wonderfully whimsical work of Clare Youngs, so they each made a colorful collage creature today.

Feeling crafty (Polymer Garden Pendants)

We got a bit crafty last week, here at Carriage House A&C. Each of us made two polymer clay pendants, decorated by pressing in bits of rosemary, lavender, and boxwood from the garden. The final dusting, with pearly powdered pigments, added a touch of glam to the earthy nature theme. Then I baked them, and today the kids strung them on colored cord. They were delighted with the results.
