Our next workshop is being planned for Saturday, October 6th and Sunday, October 7th at St. Paul's in Wallingford
The SCPCG will be hosting Dan Cormier for the Building Better Beads workshop
Cost for SCPCG members is $160. We offer the same pricing as a courtesy to NYPCG and NPCG members
Cost for non-members is $170.
Here's a brief description of the class:
In this "focus on structure" class, polymer clay artist and innovator Dan Cormier shares several of his original
approaches to bead design, fabrication, and finishing. Learn to make your own dies and templates, and discover
how Dan’s easy but elegant adaptation of silhouette die-forming puts infinite polymer clay possibilities right at
your fingertips. Learn draping, layering, shaping, bezeling, and multiple curing techniques to create your own
signature beads and objects. After nearly three years teaching his Cutting Edge system with partner artist Tracy
Holmes, Dan is happy to present this workshop that answers the question, "Now what do I do with all these
veneers?". Building Better Beads is a great companion to The Cutting Edge, or any other decorative surface
technique (canework, mokume gane, textures, mica shift...).
Why settle for "good enough" when you can make something that’s not only good, but better than ever? Why not
strive for the best? Learn ways to improve and refine your craftsmanship, so that first-class work habits become
second nature. Expand your repertoire with this info-intense but accessible two-day workshop of techniques and
tips for turning flat into form, then finishing with finesse.
