This was SUCH a fun class!!! The students got to play with all sorts of different kinds of metals.. thin sheet metal, Composition Metal (aka Gold Leafing), metallic Pebeo Paints, new Maid-O-Metal Sheets, and copper wires and threads!
After some instruction on how to manipulate some of the metals using flame, how to adhere the Gold Leafing using Sizing, and how to weave the wire and metal... the students got to play!! I was SO IMPRESSED by what they created!!
The photos were just a few of the samples I got to see.. These students were VERY creative!!

Wendy encouraged the students to use a variety of tools, stencils, and their hands to create such stunning pieces of art!!
One of the other classes I got to see the "set-up" for was Wendy's Gel-Plate Class..
Sadly, I did not get any photos of the actual *action* of the class.. but I DID get to capture these amazing photos of WENDY'S COLLECTION of prints!!
All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!

During the class, Wendy instructed students on how to create Monoprints using the Gel Plates.
Using a Brayer, Acrylic Paints, stencils and their *imagination* they were able to create their very own prints!

Once the students made their own collection of prints, they then came back for the second half of the class.. and got to CREATE A PIECE OF ART using the prints they just made!!!

This last weekend, Wendy taught her final class of the Quarter, the Piano Hinge Book!!
And I will tell you.. I LOVED what these gals created!!!
First, Wendy had them create covers for their books. Some used the Gel Plate and others used the Shaving Cream Marbling technique!!
The Piano Hinge Book is actually bound using Skewers!!
Wendy showed the students how to weave the book and make the pages.. IT WAS WONDERFUL!

Wendy gave each of the students bits and pieces to even make a *mini* Piano Hinge Book!! If you take a look at the little red book in the above photos, you will see that the marbled paper is one of the Handmade Papers we currently carry at the store!
