Casual Elegance: Polymer Clay Jewelry Making, Tuesdays Nov. 10 – 17, 6 – 8:30 pm
Create your own colorful jewelry using polymer clay, a malleable material that comes in an array of colors that can be custom blended into an infinite number of hues. You can create pieces ranging from playful to tailored, from casual to sophisticated. The essence of every piece is a striking combination of color and unique design that compliments any wardrobe. All necessary materials and supplies will be provided. Ages 13+. Registration deadline: November 3. Fee: $32.Beginning Glass Fusing, Tuesdays Nov. 17 – Dec. 1, 6 – 8:30 pm
Glass fusing is the process of using a kiln to join together pieces of glass. If you apply heat to glass, it will soften. If you continue to apply heat, the glass will become more fluid and flow together. Two or more pieces of glass will stick (or “fuse”) to each other. When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly, the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken. You will make two dazzling fused glass gems and a 4″glass plate in a Hot Box kiln while learning about glass compatibility, firing schedules, annealing and other glass fusing topics. You will work with frits, glass rods, dichroic glass and other items. No previous experience is required. All materials are included. Registration deadline: November 10. Fee: $59.Home Repair Basics for Women (Men, Too!), Thursday, Nov. 19, 6 – 9 pm
