A
Joy Garden:
Translucent Polymer Innovations
Instructor: Lindly Haunani
|

|
Have you been longing to return to the joy of childlike play,
without
self-consciousness and predetermined notions of skill and perfection?
With Lindly’s guidance (and samples) you will be encouraged
to playfully experiment with edges, scale and shape shifting to
create your own unique polymer garden elements.
The choice is yours
whether to make a statement necklace, a diorama or a garden shrine
box.
Come prepared to have
fun, play, grow and learn new approaches to playing/working with
polymer while nourishing your creative self.
Leave with a completed
joy garden to wear or display, along with several useful strategies
designed to encourage more play in your home studio.
Further details to aid you in your decision will be included
in your supply list.

In this class
you will explore the art of designing and mixing a coordinated color
palette using translucent polymer. Learn the parameters of proportion
for tinting and strategies for increasing (and decreasing) the vibrancy
of your colors.
Discover
how embracing intuition and intention will guide you to a deeper
understanding of the expressive and transformational power of informed
color choices in your work.
Lindly will guide you, step by step, as you make a set of five color-coordinated
canes that will feature translucent clay blends, embossing powders
and opaque accents. Then you will discover how a simple cane slice
can be transformed by manipulating the edges, folding, stretching
or texturing and then possibly combined with other shapes to create
dynamic volume.
Flowers, leaves, vegetables, pods, stems or even
purely fantastical garden elements are some of the possibilities
to be explored.
