Instructor:
Creating beautiful art has been a love of Heather's since childhood. Heather’s favorite medium has been molding, shaping and building with clay which led to her discovery of precious metal clay--and she has never looked back! She finds inspiration in forms, texture and nature. She enjoys structural elements and creating movement in her pieces. Her practical personality pushes her to design and make pieces that can be worn in many ways, so that many of her pieces are often reversible or have a dual purpose.
Heather loves the flexibility of Art Clay Silver and passionately shares her love of creating and building with this medium. In her previous role as an occupational therapist, Heather loved teaching others ways of doing things differently and helping them achieve their goals. Now as an Art Clay instructor, she uses these teaching skills to help her students create their pieces and to problem solve any design challenges. She creates and teaches in Toronto where she lives with her enthusiastic boys and supportive husband.
Heather is a Senior Certified Art Clay Instructor.
Students will work with ICE RESIN® to create their own personal pieces of jewellery using either clipart or photographs or other inclusions (like gemstones, crystals, pieces of metal etc).
In the class, students will learn and design a collage to set in a bezel, and cover with ICE RESIN® to create a glass-like dome. We will look at different objects that can be converted into bezels and have fun.
NOTE: Your creations will have to stay at BEADFX overnight to set.
Skill Level: Beginner
Prerequisite: N/A
Technique Focus: Learning to use Resin
Ever since she was a small child, Rosemary (a.k.a. the Magpie), has been drawn to pretty, shiny objects. However, it wasn't until she started beading a couple of years ago that Rosemary realized she could make jewelry for herself. From beading, Rosemary moved on to making chainmaille jewelry and also likes to experiment with Art Clay Silver.
