Class Description from Alice

If you love mosaics and polymer clay, if you love the look of complex canes but simply don’t want to create a giant complex cane, if you love one of a kind pieces, and if you have tons of left over canes, this is the class for you!

You’ll learn the basics by mapping a fish portrait and a butterfly. I’ll show you a few unexpected canes and different slices that you can incorporate into your designs.

This is an intermediate class and having some Skinner blended canes in your stash will make your designs pop. You’ll learn the basics by mapping a butterfly or fish portrait like the one pictured here. I’ll provide lots of butterflies and fish for you to choose from. Plus, I’ll demo my Stroppel cane and we’ll have fun incorporating some slices into our designs.

I use several older canes but I often make many new canes as needed for each piece and we can make a few. So be sure to gather lots of your older canes and pre-made Skinner blend plugs for the new ones we’ll make. I use quite a few extruded bits and we’ll go over those as well.

Requirements: You must be a member of good standing, meaning you must be paid for dues for 2026. Plus read about requirements to make Bottles of Hope before and after the workshop. And the requirement about the $50.00 payment and what you have to do to be reimbursed for it.
