Bonus Treat!! Photopolymer for Metal Clay!
Sherry Fotopoulos will be teaching 2 mini-classes on Thursday, 20 July, 10am-11am and noon-1pm. During these 1-hour classes each participant will make four stamps while learning the techniques for making personal stamps, textures and logos with water-soluble photopolymer plate material. It’s fun and direct and will lead you into designing as never before. Each participant will receive a pre-made kit for the stamps and will use an exposing kit during the class. Cost of the mini-class is $20 (payable at the class). Participation is limited to 16 per class. You may reserve a place by contacting Sherry at 210-656-8239 or sherryfotopoulos@hotmail.com.
If you can’t squeeze one of the mini-classes into your conference schedule, look for Sherry in the Demonstration Station on Friday, 21 July, 7:45-8:15pm, or Saturday, 21 July, 2:30-3pm. She will demonstrate the photopolymer technique. FREE!!
