Polymer Clay Millefiori
Magic Polymer Clay Workshop
with Layl McDill
Friday, September 13, 1:00 -3:00 pm
Millefiori means "thousand flowers" in Italian, it originated as a glass-blowing technique and now you can learn it in the form of polymer clay. Layl will walk you through the steps of creating your millefiori designs. When you slice up the clay you will be amazed at the tiny images you created! Then choose an object like a frame, switch plate, vase, or pen to cover with your little slices. Take your transformed object home to bake in your oven.

Rick Stone
At the age of four Rick began expressing himself through dance. This love of dance and music has continued his whole life. He owned a ballroom dance studio for 30 years where he expressed his creativity through choreography and costume design. Twenty years ago he discovered photography and learned to enhance his photos using colored pencils. Design and composition came naturally to him. Five years ago Rick began painting abstract acrylic canvases. He uses palette knives, brushes, and many other tools to achieve the look he is after. His paintings consist of multiple layers of textures, patterns, and design. Rick has always loved mid-century style and design and by combining that with his passion for dance and music he has created his own unique style.
