I just got in from a three day intensive class at John C. Campbell Folk School. We had a great group of gals from all over the Southeast. The class was taught by Pam East who has been teaching students how to create with metal clay for several years. Once fired in a kiln the clay becomes .999 pure silver.
This class was all about learning to create unusual textures by making your own texture plates using photopolymer. The sky is the limit with this process.
The plates I chose to make were pretty detailed and I was concerned about how they would turn out, but Pam eased my concerns. Because of her expertise, she had a pretty good idea of how they would look. Tell me what you think.
The campus is just beautiful. It is nestled in the mountains of North Carolina, near Murphy. I live just 30 minutes away but some folks come from far away and sign up a year in advance for some of the classes. If you have ever contemplated taking a class there, just do it! You will come away with great memories and forever friends.
