Demos
For a limited time, I'll be offering live demos for guilds less than 10 hours from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. There is no charge for the demos, though a few demos include kits that you can purchase if your guild chooses to want to try out the technique I'm demonstrating. The only thing I ask is if the guild can provide me meals and a place to spend one or two nights depending on the distance (one night for a drive of less than 5 hours, two nights for greater than 5 hours.)
I will plan one or two demos depending on my schedule a month and please feel free to take advantage of my visiting to teach a workshop by planning a demo for the whole guild to enjoy either the day before or the day after the workshop! Please contact me for further information. I look forward to making new friends! Oh, and if you have other demo requests, let me know!

Pick a Combo!Choose one of my signature canes - either my magic swirl, tie-dye chevon, tie-dye pinwheel, tie-dye sunburst, alhambra, or southwestern blanket/chevron - and I'll show you how to make a bangle, pendant, hollow beads, or earrings using the cane. You chose the cane and the item you want me to demonstrate!

Flamingo ParadiseIn this demo, I'll show you how to take slices from multiple image canes and layer them to create an fun beach scene. I'll then show you how to create a pair of simple earrings using your layered canes. I'll have kits available for anyone who wants to try it during the demonstration that include slices of each of the canes I use for $3 each. You will need to provide a small amount of scrap clay for the bead form,fuchsia clay, headpins, beads, and ear wires to finish your earrings. Then you're all set for the beach!

Ivory OwlAren't these little hearts wonderful! In this demo I'll show you how to layer several cane slices to create the wonderful scene on these hearts to make a pair of simple earrings. I'll have kits available for anyone who wants to try it during the demonstration that include slices of each of the canes I use for $2 each. You will need to provide a small amount of scrap clay for the bead form, white and translucent clay, headpins, beads, and ear wires to finish your earrings. This is wonderful, fun project!

Simple Polymer BoxesThis is a GREAT skill building demo! Learn how to create simple boxes with your crap clay and Kato Repel Gel. You can then cover and finish your box with your own wonderful designs. If time allows, I will also demonstrate a simple cane inlay and faux stone technique like the one pictured that makes a great way to customize your box. I'll have my cane 'bone yard' available for folks to use for a small contribution to my demo jar. Please contact me for more details!

Lever back Owl EarringsOwls are such the rage! In this class I'll show you how to make two simple teardrop shaped canes - a leaf and a petal and turn them into fun owl faces for earrings, rings, tie tags or other fun creations. Students will need to bring two skinner plugs to class, black and gold clay, and their earring findings. (I'll provide bulk ordering information to the guild.) I'll provide a few slices of feather canes for the top of the owl's head.
