\nLevel:<\/strong>\u00a0Basic polymer clay experience required. Contact Maggie if you have questions.<\/p>\n
When I first started playing with the ColorWash technique, I sometimes ended up with large areas of color that felt much too bare. What did I do? I doodled away the empty spaces. Dots, lines, and patterns filled the voids and transformed a basic color-washed piece into unique and poetic jewelry.<\/p>\n
This one-day workshop combines the basics of Smashing Color with the ColorWash technique and an intro to the nature of mark making.<\/p>\n
In the morning you will \u00a0mix a natural palette of gorgeous earth colors using Maggie’s Mixing Map.
\nAfter an intro to ColorWashing, you will make a few swatches to test your colors.<\/p>\n
While curing the swatches, Maggie will present a short lesson on the history of pattern design and demonstrate a variety of mark making techniques. The rest of the day will be spent developing your personal doodling style using pen and paper before selecting a few practice pieces to embellish with your own signature marks.<\/p>\n
You will get the chance to take some time to customize both your colors and your mark making and then create a collage brooch.<\/p>\n
Demo:\u00a0You will learn how to protect your drawings, how to finish the back and edges of the brooch, and how to attach a pin back to your brooch.<\/p>\n
