Sukey Hughes is a foremost authority on Wahsi-Japanese papermaking
I'm not sure if you are aware of what sort of work Sukey Hughes has done in her life.
From www. atlanta.creativeloafing.com Quatoyiah Murry writes:
Initially created as a means of wrapping and later writing, hand papermaking became a traditional art form in Japan many centuries ago. In 1978, author Sukey Hughes published her landmark book, Washi: The World of Japanese Paper, in an attempt to keep the technique alive and thriving in the 20th century. With SUKEY HUGHES AND THE WORLD OF JAPANESE PAPER: A RETURN TO THE SOURCE, Hughes brings her expertise to the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum in the form of an exhibition, complete with photos, documents and artifacts gathered during her research in Japan. Through Jan. 29. Free. Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-5 p.m. 500 10th St. 404-894-7840. www.ipst.gatech.edu/amp.

New Classes for the New Year(and some old faithful ones)
Sukey pioneered the very popular shrinemaking class some years ago at Adult Ed in Santa Barbara. She now is bringing it to the Art Clinic.
Shrines can be any size and range from the sacred to the profane to the humorous to remembrance boxes. We will start with little matchbox shrines that open and shut,
with a surprise inside each “shrine.” From this we will advance to larger boxes, such as Altoid cans, cigar boxes, deep frames, pencil boxes, antique boxes, drawers, even
suitcases make great shrines.
Each class Sukey will do a demonstration, such as the
use of rust and other patinas, gold leafing, crackle glazes, photos transfers, and other
great art techniques. For the first class, matchboxes will be provided. You are
encouraged to bring your own materials too -- oriental papers, animal erasers,
holiday ephemera, vintage or family photos, hearts, lace, ribbon, keys, do-dads -- for
the first class, whatever fits in or on this 2 1/4” x 1 1/2” x 3/8” matchbox. After that
you may continue in any size that fits on the worktable! Paints, glue and unusual
papers and do-dads provided.

Metal clay is fine particles of 99.9% fine silver, which when combined with an organic binder and water can be manipulated like clay. When fired in a kiln or with a torch the binder is burned away leaving the metal in solid form. It can be sculpted, cast and textured to create beautiful fine jewelry. This is the perfect medium for the novice and professional alike.
