Every Thursday is art day, a “therapy session” from 10 to 6. Come on down to our basement studio and get messy with a project, see what other artists are up to if just say “hello”. We offer a space to work some materials, if you need them and lots of spicy conversation. This is a great time to work on ATC’s (artist trading cards) or other projects.

Art Therapy Journals- Make a date with yourself and dig deep making private visual journals. This class is designed to get you to explore yourself through collage, paint and the written word. The focus of this class is to get down and dirty letting your inner truth and intuition guide you to making provocative, soul searching art for yourself.

Metal Clay is 99.9% Pure Fine Silver which has been finely ground and mixed with an organic binder which produces a clay-like material. When fired, the binder burns away and the silver solidifies. This clay can be sculpted, carved, stamped, cast, virtually manipulated anyway that you can work traditional clay. If you have a desire to create beautiful pieces in silver without the need for a silversmith’s tools or experience. Beads and findings will be available for you to complete a necklace, bracelet or earrings at an additional cost.

Open Studio available for individuals who have attended my introductory class for Metal Clay. The studio cost is $25 plus the cost of the silver clay.
