I will be teaching two fun one day workshops in Tucson, Arizona at the end of January, \u00a0just before the start of the Gem and Mineral Show. The workshops, combining color studies and the Watercolor technique, are $75 each – both for $125 \u00a0– plus a $20 per student per day fee to cover the Tucson Polymer Clay Guild costs.<\/p>\n

If you would like to sign up for one or both of the workshops contact Mary Breeding\u00a0at the Tucson Polymer Clay Guild: colymerplay@gmail.com. Come and join us!<\/p>\n

\"\"Saturday, Jan 26th: Fishtail\u00a0<\/strong>Flip Pendant \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Beginner to Intermediate Level<\/h3>\n

Learn how to bring out the richness of color in polymer clay by\u00a0washing thin sheets over a white base. Start by making a color\u00a0collage to inspire your palette for the workshop and then practice\u00a0instinctively mixing colors using the Maggio Mixing Map as a\u00a0guide.<\/p>\n

After mixing your project colors, Maggie will demonstrate the\u00a0basic versions of her Watercolor Technique and show you how to make a sampler set of\u00a0simple flat beads that will allow you to play with color, shape and visual texture.<\/p>\n

After making and baking your own beautiful collection of flat color-washed beads in many
\nshapes and sizes you will select five beads to combine into a fun reversible pendant which
\nwe will finish in class using rubber cording. You can then take the rest of your beads home
\nto put together into jewelry of your own design.<\/p>\n

Kit Fee : <\/strong>$15 kit fee includes colored clay, handouts, stringing materials and group<\/p>\n

Materials to Bring: <\/strong>In addition to pasta machine, work surface, and blade, bring Premo Polymer Clay, minimum of 6 oz (195 g) of dark scrap or Black\u00a0clay and 4 oz (130 g) of White clay. Colored clay provided. Magazine clippings in a plastic\u00a0zip-lock bag (at least 100 clippings with the white backgrounds and text trimmed away.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sunday, Jan 27th: \u00a0<\/strong>Landscape Brooch \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Intermediate to Advanced Level<\/h3>\n

In this fast-paced workshop you will learn how to mix customized\u00a0colors inspired by your favorite landscape, explore what nature can\u00a0teach us about adding depth to our work, practice troubleshooting\u00a0to get gorgeous color combinations, and collage a mini landscape\u00a0brooch to take home.<\/p>\n

Start by instinctively mixing colors to match your landscape using the Maggio Mixing Mapas a guide. Once you have the colors you need, Maggie will demonstrate her advanced\u00a0Watercolor techniques for creating color washed sheets to mimic Sky, Mountains, Trees,\u00a0Fields and Water. Have fun exploring new ways to combine a variety of standard polymer\u00a0techniques with the Watercolor technique as you make your personal collection of sheets.<\/p>\n

Play with tearing and laying out your sheets until you have an abstract collage that feels\u00a0inspired by your landscape and then mount your collage in a 2\u201d (50 mm) brass frame\u00a0without using glue.<\/p>\n
