"Origami with Metal..Metal Clay that Is!!"
**with Simone Linn**
We have found the Metal Sheet Clay Queen! Simone did a wonderful job of teaching us how to create beautiful and cool origami objects and jewelry. We worked with origami paper as that is the best way to learn the folds before going on to the Sheet Clay. Meanwhile Simone demonstrated with the Sheet Clay, being very clear about how to press the folds. Sheet Clay offers many possibilities but more than 16 folds is just too much. Thank you Simone for a professional demo.

All That Glitters IS GOLD!!!
If you want the richness of gold with out having all the "riches" necessary to creating sold gold jewelry, you are in luck. In this demo Diane is going to share with us how she uses AGS2 (Accent Gold for Silver) and the Aura 22 Gold Paste to add the shimmer of gold to silver metal clay. It really will be like getting two wonderful demos in one, this is a must attend meeting. Thank you Diane.
