Past 2026 workshops…
TUESDAY JUNE 23 Donna Mast teaches a master class in Polymer Clay making. Her projects appear to be rare stone but are crafted out of polymer clay.
Donna is a talented fine artist who has taken multiple classes in the USA, bringing her knowledge back to her home town. She has found jewellery making to be at times easier to sell than her larger more expensive paintings. It’s a great idea to learn something new to give your creativity a jump start. A centre stone will be created for Ashlee’s up coming medallion class on the 25th. These two classes dove tailing nicely into our next three bead making workshops.
Donna’s class is Afternoon 1 pm - 4 pm or Evening 6 - 9 pmWorkshops Max 5 people in each class at the Gallery: 4814 - 53 Avenue, Barrhead AB Members: $35. Non-Members: $50
