The Magic of Christmas

I'm excited to announce that I will be joining some fabulous artists (8 of us total!) over at Terri Brush Academy to teach 2 online holiday projects.  You can check out the details here. Registration begins Oct. 15th. The event is a steal at $49.99 for all 16 projects and you have til May to access the videos. You have to join the Academy first (free to join) to have access to the workshops. 

I will be teaching two projects. One is a soldering project called, "Heritage Ornaments" in which we will solder a small box to house an item of your choice. I will walk you through soldering and offer suggestions of things to put inside your ornament.

The other project is using clay and we will creating fun and funky little "Misfit Snowmen".  I love making these fun little guys. They make great little gifts to wrap up and give to teacher, friends or for that unexpected gift you need in a hurry. 

hope you can join in the fun!

Hallelujah!

I was gone for 2 weeks, teaching in Tennessee and North Carolina. When I returned home, I had 2 weeks to finish filming and editing my second online summer workshop with Artful Gathering. I knew I could do it, but I didn't anticipate all the technical issues with camcorders, tripods, computer issues etc. Arggggggg, i'm ready to shoot myself! But finally, I am done! Here is a little promotional video of my second session class on soldering. Now unfortunately  I have no excuses why I don't have time to clean my house :(

these weekend i held two workshops and they were both quite fun. i totally forgot to take any pictures from saturday's jewelry class, so these pics are all from today's bottle class. one of the other participants got sick, so she wasn't able to make it today. but we will see her in another class. we had fun playing with our bottles and discussing the different types of bottles and ways to make toppers for them, how to alter them, etc. i think we each got 2 bottles finished.

in February, i will be holding 2 more workshops, which you can read about here.

also in February i am holding a Valentine's day card exchange between myself and you if you would like to exchange cards. you can read about it here. i have a lot of participants already, which i am excited about!

Classes for February

February is fast approaching so i thought i'd post my class offerings now to give you time to maybe attend!

the first class, "Destash that stash" will be held on Friday, February 12, 2010 from 10:00-2:00. one day when i was sitting around, i decided to spend 20 minutes going through my studio stuff, stuff found in junk drawers, stuff found in jewelry boxes, stuff belonging to my grandma, stuff belonging to my mother and broken stuff! i wondered, "what could i do with all this stuff? it is stuff that has meaning to me, yet it is just hiding away. you would not believe the fun stuff i rounded up in the strangest places (bathroom drawer!) we will be learning jewelry basics like wire wrapping, attaching, component soldering and basic jewelry design on creating a 2 tier charmed necklace and figuring out what to do with all this cool stuff. here are a couple of different designs i created to show what we will be doing. email me at keeshagirl4@aol.com for more information or to reserve your seat.

my second class offering will be a Valentine's themed soldering class to be held on Saturday, February 13th from 11:00-3:00. we will learn all about soldering as we create this vintage inspired ornament. email me at keeshagirl4@aol.com with questions or to reserve your seat.
