Ribbon Cane Necklace

In this class, we’ll create a hollow cabochon laminated with my brand new Ribbon Cane. I love the way this cane comes together - they’re never exactly the same! We’ll create a pod shaped bead for the end of the necklace and either 3 black pods or one round bead that will lie between the hollow cab and the end pod. We’ll mix our custom colours. We’ll finish by stringing the pieces so that the cord slides in the cabochon enabling the wearer to move the cab high or low.

‘Versa-tile’ cane pendant

In this class you will learn to make a tile like cane that is very adaptable. The basic cane can be put together 5 different ways giving you lots of options from just one cane. There are many small adaptations you can make to the basic cane which gives it a very different look. You will get lots of tips and tricks for constructing and working with geometric cane patterns. You will then create different patterned veneers from the cane and construct an elegant oval pendant with a neat polymer back including a polymer bail.


 

Paola Mattioli has always expressed a passion for art and creativity, then fulfilled with her studies: starting from the Art School, the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, up to the School of Restoration. The love for art in all its forms led her to experiment and measure herself with different techniques, materials and styles, such as wire, beading, enamels, polymer clay and Art Clay Siver, that she teaches in her workshops. Art Clay Silver certified teacher, she is part of the artistic teaching staff chosen by Art Clay World Europe, and she is one of the organizers of the international event in Italy dedicated to polymer clay, Polycreativa, in which she has taught for several editions. Some of her creations are published in the best Italian and foreign magazines and showed in international exhibitions. An example of this is the "Germogli" ring in metal clay and the "Power of Love" bracelet in metal clay and polymer clay, both exhibited in the Tokyo Museum and published in the Silver Accessories contest, the international reference catalog for artists of the Art Clay Silver

Double Pendant

In this class we will make a “double face” pendant that you can wear in different occasions. We will create a bezel that will contain the central part decorated in both sides. We will use the gold-like sheet and – taking inspiration by the “cloisonné” technique and by the medieval stained glass windows - we will play with colors and transparencies


 

My name is Fabiola Pérez, I am from Madrid, city where I currently reside. My journey in the world of craft and manual work began in 2009 when I started in a small workshop to teach collage, decoupage, mosaic… In 2010, I discovered polymer clay and learned self-taught techniques first. Over time I was experimenting with different materials as well as polymer clay up to the present time in which I am working technique of mix-media, a combination of different techniques and materials including polymer clay. Currently I teach classes monthly of polymer clay and mix-media, as well as tutorials and any courses both in Spain as in Europe. Despite being deaf from birth this has failed me to devote myself to what more I like and share it with all those people who enjoy both like me speaking out artistically.

My teaching style and creation is very intuitive based on the demonstration and focusing more on the practice way than in the theory

Silent Music 

`Silent Music´ is a technique inspired in the world of music under the perspective of someone that have not ever heard; Fabi focused her attention in the materials used to get the different instruments-wood mostly- and also on the movement of the sound through the air, the vibration and pulse of an specific tone as well as the visual shape of some of them (piano keys for example). She used basic techniques that evolve complicate when you mix them, same way as the music get complex while you add new instruments so you end with a complete orchestra. This technique combine acrylic painting over the clay and different particular textures that get the piece a really solid presence. To get the final design we will use different cutters and also raised hand (scalpel) to top off with a collage o pieces of different colors to make the final composition with fixed and also mobile parts that provides the final piece a nice contrast.
