Resin, Set, Go
|
|
Instructor: Jeannie Palmer Moore
Technique: Mixed Media Stitch
|
|
The shibori technique is basically cloth tightly compressed by tying, clamping, folding, or stitching the fabric so that it resists the paint and produces wonderful designs and patterns. Students will learn these methods and be able to use these unique fabrics in their quilts or as whole cloths. By applying acrylic paints instead of dyes, it creates a much faster result.

Instructor: Jen Cushman
Technique: Mixed Media Jewelry
|
|
Turn your eye for design into fabulous and unique jewelry. During class we will use handcrafted bezels, oodles of images, a nontoxic jeweler's-grade resin, and the most important tool of all—your imagination—to make a trio of resin pendants. Learn how to properly mix and pour a two-part epoxy resin, add color if you so choose, embed small objects like rhinestones or beads, and bling it up with glitter and mica.
