Last weekend I taught a precious metal and polymer clay combo workshop in Perth made available to Aussiepolyclayer members and CCIP artisans. What fabulous fun we had! Made even more so by the bonds that have been formed over many years of chatting online at the Aussiepolyclay Forum. Many of us know each other quite well but have never met in person till now so you can imagine how wonderful it was to finally get together for a weekend of clay fun.
Thanks to my folks for opening up their home for this wonderful event and to all those who participated, a huge thanks to you all for making it a joyful gathering.
Special thanks to Pam Annesley for hijacking me straight after the workshop for an extra two days of claying and experimenting at her home studio in Bindoon.
Stay tuned next week for pics of the Sydney workshop coming up this weekend and also the announcement and pics of the polymer jewellery challenge for both groups.

I completely missed this due to some family things that were happening and then I forgot to register etc.!! Bummer!

hehehe...Julz...I know Zarina will wanna kill me...but some risks have to be taken in the name of art and 'we can so relate' pics. I think everyone has that oops look on their face in a class...just a fluke that the camera was able to grab that shot. It's a classic and just couldn't be overlooked.
