I am teaching at Cabin Fever Clay Fest in Laurel, Maryland not far from Washington DC. in February.

This
is the first time I will ever be teaching my unzipped hearts, how to
use the zipper mold, how to make the embellishments, stamping both sides
of the heart at the same time, making and incorporating the ring bail
at the top and anything else I can give you in the time allotted.
I will not be the only teacher there either, there are many great
artists coming to teach at this event and it is the perfect thing to
heat up your cold winter. I am so looking forward to this and meeting
new friends and playing with old ones...
Here is the line up
Beginning 17 Feb. 2012, we will offer a two-day masterclass with
Jeffrey Lloyd Dever and seven full-day workshops with each of the
following incredibly talented instructors: Jana Roberts Benzon, Lindly
Haunani, Barbara Lewis, Liz Potter Hall, Nan Roche, Marie Segal, and
Sarah Shriver.
On Sunday, 19 Feb., the conference begins and will offer twelve
unique workshops and nineteen opportunities to get the creative muse
working again! Instructors include: Blair Anderson, Jana Roberts
Benzon, Lindly Haunani, Linda Hess, Doreen Kassel, Shannon Nelson,
Kathryn Jo Ottman, Lynne Anne Schwarzenberg, Marie Segal, Sarah Shriver,
and Laura Tabakman.
I will also be teaching a class on wire called "All wired up"
I will also be teaching a class on wire called "All wired up"
That is the pre-conference (master classes) all day workshop on Friday the 17th of February.
We start out making a simple flower cane .
I will be exploring all kinds of ear wires and making a
simple clasp for necklaces and talking about wire basket weaving and how
to incorporate the cane into the wire.
This is going to be an incredible conference with many wonderful teachers and 20 classes available to you. I am so honored to be amongst this group.
You should come, it is going to be fun and you will have chance to learn something new in the new year.
All of the instructors are incredibly talented artists in polymer clay, metal clay, mixed media, and metalwork.
This sounds like such a cool conference, even for someone who doesn't "do" clay! I'd love to just watch if I were in the area. Used to live in Ellicott City, up the road a piece from Laurel.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool Linda. I went a few years ago and had a wonderful time.

The conference sounds awesome. I love your creations ~ I wish I could attend.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool. I too wish I could get there but can't - an online class would be so cool
ReplyDeleteHi Marie,
ReplyDeleteYour heart class looks like lots of fun and imagination! I miss visiting with you when I would stop by to purchase Cernit in San Marcos all those years ago. I enjoyed seeing all your new creations in person. Maybe our paths will cross again at a show somewhere!
Congrats Marie! That sounds wonderful. I wish I lived closer and could attend!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Gaby
Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks so much for leaving comments on my blog. That certainly makes blogging extra special! :)
Did you end up winning the glass cutter? I just checked back and saw that you got the most votes. That is SO cool! I have been glad to help you out. You definitely deserve such a prize, as all your projects are just wonderful and very inspiring. Congrats on teaching, too -- your students are a lucky bunch. I wished I lived a wee bit closer...
Are you interested in winning a white cotton T-shirt with a pink heart and the words I ♥ Oktoberfest in size L? Then come over to my blog until Sunday, 22nd January, and leave a comment here.
What about having a look at my Advent and Christmas and getting an impression of Munich's Christmas market ? Moreover, you can see some frosty weather photos and pictures from a walk around my neighborhood on January 1st. Finally, there are photos of New Year's Eve . Of course, comments are welcome -- it's always great to hear what you think!
Have a wonderful 2012,
your blog friend from Munich, Germany,
Birgit
