Mokume Gane - gift making, polymer clay

X

Description

Mokume Gane is an old Japanese technique used with metals that is adapted to use with polymer clay resulting in always magically beautiful pieces of art. You will be guided through the steps and once you have created your own, unique sheet of Mokume Gane clay, you decide what objects you will turn it into: jewellery, little dishes, buttons, key-rings or other objects; your imagination will guide you and you will create a selection of items. This course requires a minimum of two people to run, so why not invite some people to join you? You could also use it to celebrate a special occasion with family/friends! You can also book or contact me for an individual place and I'll put you on the waiting list and I'll run the workshop when I have two or more people. If a minor would like this course, they need to be in the company of an adult, who is also a participant. Experience the joy of creating!

For more than 17 years I have provided after school Art Clubs and I still love it, but I have always wanted to work with adults so I get to work with materials and techniques that need more time and are too advanced to use with kids. I also want to prove that everyone can enjoy being creative and make something they are happy with. So far it works. After a Colourbuzz workshop everyone goes away with work they are proud of and pleased with! I offer workshops in my studio, but I can also travel and work with groups of all ages. Using my experience of working with primary school kids, I'm also happy to travel to a home/venue to do creative activities for a birthday party. I have completed a Creative Crafts Course an Advanced Silversmithing course and hold QTLS Status. In addition I am DBS checked.
