What do you love about Art Clay?
I love that Art Clay is so versatile and easy to work with. It’s also easy to teach to others. Students always like taking home their own personalized creation.
What are your favorite Art Clay projects/creations?
My favorite creation is the "Eye of Ra" or wedjat. I also like my sun pendant because the liver of sulfur turned it a goldish color like the sun (and gold).
What other media do you work and/or teach in?
I also enjoy lampworking and stained glass projects.
Biography:
I love my family and friends, cats, dogs, horses and dragons. I enjoy designing and creating jewelry, making glass beads, gardening and am quite the avid reader, especially mysteries. I live with my husband and an assortment of wild and domestic critters on 2.5 acres NE of the town of Clovis in central California – the heart of agriculture.& I’ve also enjoyed traveling to Japan and Thailand. Next spring I will go to Australia.
Philosophy:
Humans for thousands of years have sought and created practical and/or shiny and pretty objects d’art to utilize, wear, collect and/or view. From decorated tipis and juniper berry necklaces to scrimshaw and carved knife handles, stones and amulets, stella and pyramids. Everyone needs at least one creative outlet to tinker with. I enjoy jewelry making and "playing" with Art Clay as part of my creative repertoire.
