Cassy-Rose is one of our newer members who drove all the way from Kelowna to join us. Cassy loves to sculpt and she brought her latest project with her. When she first showed us the photos, it was difficult to imagine how large this piece really is!
If you visit her facebook page you can see her step by step process as she creates her masterpiece as well as see some of her past work.
At our meeting I showed everyone how to make a Stroppel Cane. We have several containers of scraps from our cane making so put them out for everyone to play with and this was the result:
And then we all made some beads from the canes. The technique is named after Alice Stroppel who invented it and you can see the video here on her site.
Afterwards, we took some time out to show how to sand their finished pieces and then Dave demonstrated how to use the Dremel to buff them to a high shine. We feel this is an important part to working with polymer clay as anyone can create but the finishing can elevate you to a higher level.
We are all looking forward to our next meeting in September.
