Shrine Making Workshop with Sukey Hughes three Wednesdays left, February, 3rd, 10th and 17th 1:30 - 4:30 Fee $5
Sukey pioneered the very popular shrine making 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. Go to www.artclinic.blogspot.com to learn more.

Journal Espirit
Feb. 4th & 18th (2 days) 5 -7 PM. Fee: $20.00 each class plus $5 material fee which includes a journal that you make and some art materials provided.
‘Journal Espirit’, akin to visual journaling, allows direct access to our right brain, the world of no words, but rather whole thoughts, mostly without conscious awareness of what we are doing. In ‘Journal Espirit’ participants are given prompts, usually in the form of a story, or the symbolism associated with a word to help us move more easily toward our deeper inner thoughts.
Sign up now and join Carol Kemp for this fun filled, informative and self-gratifying experience.

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.
