Ellen Prophater continues with her wonderful beginner sessions and custom classes designed to teach you exactly what you want to learn. Call if you want a good start to your polymer addiction. She is happy to teach one on one, or with a small group, and gives you a good foundation in polymer art. Below are some of the classes for 2018 and beyond. Feel free to call us for more information. We try to have work from the teachers on display in the gallery, so stop by and see firsthand what will be happening in the classes. Ellen Prophater January 19-21 or 26-28, 2018 (10:00-5:00 pm) $300 "Building Inro-style Vessels" Ellen will share her continuing discovery of veneer making techniques. Her new line of silk screens is ideal for making large inro type vessels. We will investigate transfers of images, collaged with textures and paint techniques. Claire Maunsell February 9-11, 2018 (10:00-5:00 pm) $375 "Hollow Forms and Surface Exploration" Claire is passionate about surface decoration and making hollow forms. This workshop will explore the many ways she creates veneers and the incorporates them into hollow forms. She will also share how she colors and alters these forms after curing. She has developed many crackled and altered surfaces, plate printed designs and transfers....all exciting and all waiting to cover your hollow forms. It should be a jam-packed three days sure to invigorate your new year. Bettina Welker April 14-16, 2018 (10:00-5:00 pm) $375 "Creative Clasps" Bettina is working on a class to delve into new ways of connecting components and making unique clasps. We love her style and we are delighted that she is sharing some of her newest techniques with us. Amy Koranek June 8-10, 2018 "Polyform Extravaganza" Amy Koranek, from Polyform Products, is coming for our opening weekend. If you have ever gone to Sculpey University, you have probably seen one of her projects. She will be here to share demos and information for polymer novices and 'old hands' alike. This won't be hands on, but there will be lots of fun to watch. Ellen Prophater June 22-24, 2018(full) and June 29-July1, 2018 (10:00-5:00 pm) $300 "Jewelry Design" Bring all your unfinished but promising projects.....that series of orphaned beads, that one-off bead waiting to be a brooch, that mixed media piece you love but haven't paired with anything yet, all your good intentioned pieces that haven't found a home yet....even a pile of great veneers that haven't become anything yet. Ellen will guide you to a finished necklace with pieces you already have or can whip up on the spot. You'll learn some design techniques and get an understanding of how to pull it all together! Julie Picarello July 13-15, 2018 (10:00-5:00pm) $350 "Tube Bails with Meshed Up Imprint Mokume, Lunar Feather Beads and Faded Tapestry" We've jammed as much as possible into this weekend! This is what happens when you can't decide which of the wonderful classes Julie teaches you want. So you say, "Yes, please!" These are pictures of Julie's tube bails and pieces of 'meshed up' mokume. We'll work toward combining the looks. She is offering to do a similar idea with her lunar beads, creating feathered lunar beads. We'll wrap up the weekend with 'Faded Tapestry', an awesome look you'll want to add to your repertoire. Even if you have taken a class with Julie before, there is a lot of new ground to cover. Lynda Gilcher August 3-5, 2018 (10:00-5:00pm) $350 "Extruder Magic" Lynda (and her husband Jon) have created a line of extruder disks that go far beyond your normal circle, triangle and square. She has made sets that allow you to create a cane like a butterfly or flower in nothing flat. Her acrylic dies are amazing. Thicker than 'normal', they hold the clay longer so there is less twisting. They make complex caning possible. In this class, she will show you techniques ranging from 'color changing' dots, florals, color shading, geometric deisgns, graphic patterns and more! You can even make a complicated looking butterfly made with the extruder. A big advantage of building canes with the extruder is that you make just what you need without a lot of waste and you don't end up with ten feet of a cane you really don't like. Learn how to easily create complex looking canes using a variety of disk shapes. She also has made templates that are superior to anything else on the market. She will teach you all her tricks so get the most out of these fun tools. Lindly Haunani September 7-9, 2018 (10:00-5:00pm) $350 "Your Color Story--Harmonious Color Schemes" Are you ready to immerse yourself in the glorious world of color and design for three days? Gain color confidence as you discover how to translate your color preferences into impactful color schemes. Lindly returns to Creative Journey to share her color expertise. During this class you will . . . Expand your color awareness Refresh your knowledge about color Perfect your skills when combining colors Using modern half square quilt block patterns as inspiration you will make a dramatic decorative wall hanging tile. See how balance, placement and proportion all play key roles while designing successful color schemes. Starting with one master palette of pigment primaries, you will be guided to choose between three different options to customize your palette. Learn how to make adjustments in saturation that reflect your color preferences. There will be dozens of illustrative color samples on display and plenty of time for individual attention while you make your color choices. The veneers you will be making during this workshop are inspired by painterly fabric designs and include: Shibori, fractured stripes and a simple tear-away technique. Using a template you will cut half squares from your veneers, which will then be puzzled together to form a geometric quilt block pattern. You will have ample “yardage” of blends to experiment with and may opt to concentrate on one combination or try several. Our closing group discussion will emphasize how you can translate what you have learned about color in this workshop towards telling your own unique color story while designing color schemes. Samples illustrating how the patterns read at a smaller scale suitable for jewelry design will also be presented. You will be encouraged to take at least one quilt block panel to completion, ready for hanging in your home during class. Learn, laugh and have fun while increasing your color confidence. Carol Blackburn October 12-14, 2018 (10:00-5:00pm) $375 Missoni Veneers and Asymmetrical Necklaces We are very excited to welcome Carol Blackburn to Creative Journey Studios. She brings a textile background, having studied at Manchester College of Art and the Royal College of Art. This 'Londoner' has written one of my favorite books of all time--"Making Polymer Clay Beads(2007) which you can find in several languages on Amazon. At the moment she is intrigued by the family-run brand Missoni, which was launched in 1953 when Tai and Rosita Missoni began producing their signature crochet-knit designs. She has developed a polymer version of this amazing look. She will introduce you to wavy blades and show you how to experiment with this interesting tool. You will arrange layered stacks of polymer from which to create 'Missoni' style decorative veneers. Carol will also guide you through making a variety of hollow free-form beads with other patterns that will be used to make an asymetrical necklace. Donna Greenberg November 9-11, 2018 (10:00-5:00pm) $350 Budding BioSystems (aka 'Reef'-er Madness) Donna has been busy making forms and shapes loosely based on organic corals, lichens and fungi. She will translate these into a tableau suitable for the wall. She has been experimenting with the best products to realize her vision. She is making armatures and creating a gessoed substrate. She places her creations and then heads for the paint. This is a great opportunity to learn sculpting techniques that we admired in her New York subway series that she did with Doreen Kassel for Synergy last year. Be sure to check our her facebook posts and get lost on her Flicker site.

Well, as far as storms go, God was very good to us, and we got off rather easy. We lost power for a day and a night (a very hot and muggy day and night I might add!), and the yard is rather trashed, but other than that, no damages. Funny how the loss of electricity always shows real quick just how spoiled we are! It'll probably take a decade for things to dry out around here, it's one soggy world outside my window. Okey doke, now that you've gotten a weather report...lets move on to the real post! It's no secret that sewing is my thing, I enjoy it completely. One of the purposes of this blog, is to help folks understand that sewing isn't as complicated or hard as people like to think it is. One way to make sewing easier is to have the right tools to use to do it. In this post, I'm going to show you some of my favorite tools of the trade...some of which you may already have, and some you may not have thought would be helpful. A sewing machine. Get the best one you can afford, and know how to use it, 'nuff said. I have a Bernina sewing machine (which I love), and a Kenmore serger (which I'm hoping to upgrade soon). By the way, don't assume a brand new model is better than an older used model...do your homework. Sometimes the older models, although they have less bells and whistles, are actually of better quality than the new. A cutting board with a measuring grid. I have a hard one that can be used with a rotary cutter, and this card board one. The card board one is very inexpensive, less than $10 I believe at any local craft or fabric store. I use it every time I sew. The reason being, the grids lines save me from having to do more measuring and marking than is necessary. I can cut by following the lines on the board. 3. A measuring tape. This is an absolute must. A sewn product will only be as good as the measurement you took to start with. Numbers are everything, and you need accurate ones. Again, this is not an expensive item to purchase, it is well worth the few dollars. 4. A GOOD pair of scissors to cut fabric, and a small pair for snipping threads. Scissors are not thing to scrimp on, cheap ones will not do the job. I went for a long time hacking fabric up with the $10 pair of scissors. When I finally broke down, and bought a decent pair I saw the affects in my sewing immediately. I have several pairs of the small size that I keep wherever I work, I hate threads hanging out of things. Nothing screams handmade like hanging threads. 5. French Curve Ruler. This isn't a "must" per say, but I highly recommend getting one. See this post if you want to see why I think they are so helpful to have. 6. Marking utensils. I use tailors chalk (found at any fabric store), and a China marker (found in craft stores). The trick with a good marking tool, it to find one that doesn't require you to press down hard to get it leave a mark. Delicate fabrics, like chiffon, will slide everywhere if you've got to press hard to mark on it. The China marker does not wash off, so you if you use that, you need to make sure you cut the line off as you are cutting out the fabric. 7. A note book. If you use patterns, using a note book will help you organize any changes you made to the pattern as you sewed it. If you don't use patterns, than the notebook becomes your "pattern book" to allow you recreate something you've already made. I use mine like this. I draw a sketch of what I want to make. Then I draw it out how I plan to cut it on the fabric. I figure out all the measurements of each piece needed for the garment on paper. I adjust the measurements for each size I plan to make of that garment. I make any notes about cutting or constructing on the paper to remember for next time. I try to make all the mistakes on paper first, before I've done it on fabric. I also give it a style number for organizational purposes, if I plan to sell it. It doesn't matter how messy the paper is, or the bad spelling, as long as the garment works out correctly. 8. A calculator. This goes hand in hand with the above. There is a lot numbers involved with sewing, and my little head doesn't work just perfectly. The calculator is my trusty sidekick to help keep me from stupid mistakes. 9. Guides. This is a matter of preference for me. I like to save myself time whenever possible, so I cut neckline guides out of empty cereal boxes. I know for example, that when I want to make a boat neck top out of knit fabric, I need to use the guide that is 4 inches across and 3 inches down. 10. Lastly, tweezers, a small screwdriver, and a stiff bristle brush (not pictured). Sewing machines are just like any other machine, they break, need adjusting, and need basic maintenance. Tweezers help me thread my serger and pull jammed threads out of small crevices. The screwdriver is needed to change out parts, or tighten loose ones. The brush is needed to clean out all the fibers that collect in the machine parts, which if left, will cause the machine to malfunction. Obviously, a lot could be added to this list. I hope that pointing out a few of the less obvious sewing tools might be helpful to someone. Do you have a favorite thing to help you when you sew? 1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

cubby house in my pocket While the idea of making cubby houses from cardboard may be neither new nor original, most kids find plain old cardboard boxes brilliant house building materials and more than valid imaginiary substitutes for everything from submarines to rocket ships. Regular readers will recall that recently the architect repurposed a very large cardboard box pinched from our Craft Victoria display site at Design Made Trade into a fabulous cubby house for the Maxmonster. This now wallpapered, windowed and push button lit box is a complete hit with both max and all other house guests under five, as well as our dog Muji and many big people who really should know better than to fold themselves in three to get into said box and stop complaining that they need help to get out again. (not that i'm mentioning any names Uncle Matt) However when I saw recent graduate Liya Mairson's prototype fold out cardboard cubby house (called 'My Space' ) I was completely blown away. Designed for 3-6 year olds living in small apartments, the cardboard folding play area folds flat for easy under bed sor behind door torage (genius) and exploits all the best bits of a pop up book scaled up to life size. Fully recyclable it's also been made so that little peoples can manipulate it themselves without the annoying intervention of big peoples.Way-Haaay!!! Bugger the kids I want one for myelf. BECK
