March Meeting & Local Classes of Interest
A Project to Resin-ate
Our March 2012 meeting will take place on Sunday, March 4 at 1 PM. We’ll meet in the classroom at Michaels Arts & Crafts Store.
Our focus this meeting will be using UV resin with clay. We’ll construct a simple clay bezel that can be filled with ephemera, microbeads, glitter, miniature clay sculptures or canes. We’ll also look at techniques to use resin as a top coat on clay.
What to bring: basic clay kit, small piece 220 grit wet/dry sandpaper, small cookie cutter to use as a shape-form, Lisa Pavelka Magic-Glos (available at Michaels and Hobby Lobby), items to fill your bezel pendant.
What we will provide: oven for curing, UV light for curing clay.
