Workshops

I have two workshops in leather planned this summer at Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts in Mineral Point, WI
Hope you can join us!
LEATHER JEWELRY
Cheryl Smeja
Saturday, May 10
9:00 - 4 :30


Make necklaces and bracelets from a strip of leather that has been cut with punches or with a knife, then wet-formed into a continuous three-dimensional pattern. Then color the piece with dyes and paints if you desire.

Class Code: 440
Student Fee $85

LEATHER JOURNAL
Cheryl Smeja & Sharon Stauffer
Saturday,August 16, 2008
10—4pm

Make a handsome journal with a leaf-embossed leather cover and heavy watercolor pages. Cheryl is a leather worker who will show you how easy it is to make a leaf imprint in the leather and apply dyes to color the leather and show off the design. Sharon is a mixed media artist. She will lead you through some fun techniques to color the pages and create “artful” backgrounds for whatever you choose to put in your journal - writing, poetry, journaling, memorabilia. And, we’ll use a type of binding that will enable you to add more pages later so your journal can expand endlessly to suit your needs.

CLASS CODE: 8B-890
Student Fee: $55
