Clayathon 2020
Guest Artist:
Kathleen Dustin
Your $115 Clayathon Registration Fee includes
- 6 hours of demonstrations by Kathleen Dustin [described below]
- Your own 6′ Ballroom workshop table for 9 days,
- Buffet lunches on Sunday and Monday
- Friday evening Welcome Party,
- Saturday evening Meet and Chat with the Artists
- Sunday Auction
- Monday evening Game Night
On February 15, 16 and 17,
Kathleen will Demonstrate
Tribal Texturing, Carving and Hinging in Polymer with Silver Wire
Studying her collection of tribal and ethnic jewelry, Kathleen has realized that spontaneity and improvisation are key elements in tribal design. With this in mind, during the weekend days of the Retreat [February 15, 16 & 17] Kathleen will demonstrate layering and carving cured polymer clay as well as making hand-applied patterned impressions in uncured clay.
As she explains, however, making jewelry requires the artist to think functionally as well as aesthetically. So, using silver wire Kathleen will demonstrate bending, hammering, imbedding, and hinging to join polymer pieces together in a simple straightforward way, enhancing tribal design. If time allows, she will also demonstrate making personally designed chain links.
NOTE: In addition to these included Demos on Feb. 15, 16 and 17, Kathleen will also teach a 3 day Workshop on February 18, 19 and 20, for which the fee is $330. See Workshop description below
Options: You can register for the Retreat only, for Workshops only, or for both Retreat and Workshops. Your Retreat Registration includes a 6′ table in the Ballroom from from Feb. 12 through Feb. 20. That way you will have the option of working independently in the Ballroom while others are taking Workshops.
Retreat Registration is limited to 126 spaces, so procrastination is not a wise plan.
To Register for the Retreat: Click on the “ Register for Retreat HERE” button at the top. Then, fill out the form, pay the $115 Retreat fee by Pay Pal [much preferred] or by check to Elaine Rankosky at 14 Manchester St
Galloway NJ 08205-3680, and you will be registered for the 9 day Clayathon Retreat. [Registration for workshops is separate]

Concrete and Rust Earrings
A One Day Workshop
Tuesday, February 18
€100
All level clayers welcome
In this class students will build geometrical earrings. The innovative building technique is simple and opens the way to many more shapes. Once they are baked and quickly sanded, students will learn how to give these shapes a faux concrete look and touch. The earrings will be enhanced with coated wire that mimics rust and adds interest to the faux concrete texture and the hand made findings will be added.

Reversible Hollow Pendant
A One Day Workshop
Wednesday, February 19
€100
A One Day Workshop
In this class students will build a hollow lentil pendant with openings on each side. Both will be carved and textured. Colors will be added with alcohol inks and other materials. The inside of the lentil is an imitation of concrete made with polymer clay. The pendant and dangling piece are attached with wire pieces that allow it to rotate in order to show either side. Students will learn how to play with a special clay mix and use it to cover metal wire.

Lindly Haunani
Joyous Color: Veneer Sampler
$330
Join Lindly Haunani for a joyful exploration of color and
- Increase your color mixing agility
- Learn to embrace fluorescents when mixing colors
- Perfect your skills when combining colored patterns
Master the art and finesse of creating bright, vibrant color schemes using custom mixing primaries spiced up with fluorescents. If you prefer making a more restrained color scheme, Lindly will walk you through that option. Five useful strategies to enhance harmony will be presented as you prepare a set of colors destined to become a set of coordinating veneers.
Experience the magic of creating the illusion of glow in your veneers by combining two ombre blend stripe sheets while making your veneer patterns. There will be dozens of illustrative color samples on display and plenty of time for individual attention while you make your color choices.
Six new veneer patterns inspired by a glorious summer flower garden will be presented during this workshop including: nestled gladiola petals, a tessellated interlocking cane, a fun plaid and color blend checkerboards. Lindly will walk you through her behind the scenes thought processes that she uses when designing new veneers. Experience the excitement and joy of designing your own polymer fabric inspired patterns.
In this three- day workshop you will be making a polymer quilt wall hanging based upon a disappearing nine –patch. Learn how to sequence and audition your elements to create a harmonious balance in your design while using multiple elements. At the end of the session we will brainstorm as a group on how to incorporate what you have learned in your future projects: including scaling things for jewelry design, incorporating veneers into sculptures and ideas for exploring designing new patterns.
Join Lindly Haunani, a nationally recognized colorist for a fun and illuminating three- day workshop. While you may know just what colors you like, and exactly how to mix them, using them in harmonious combinations can be challenging. Learn how to add impact to your polymer clay work with increased color confidence and agility.

Loretta Lam
Finding Your Balance
$220
We all know when a design is out of whack. We can feel imbalance in our bodies. Visual equilibrium is necessary to establishing harmony in a work of art. But how do you choose which type of balance to use?
In this workshop, Loretta will share the strengths and weaknesses of four types of balance – symmetry, modified symmetry, asymmetry and radial balance. All design elements have visual weight, direction, and energy. Learning to identify these things and use them consciously will lead to greater control over your design. When your design is strong, the work is fresh, contemporary, and dynamic. You will be delighted to see how easily you can accomplish this with a few key choices.
In this class you will:
- Discover the effects of four basic types of balance
- Learn how to use color, texture and form to support balance
- Pick up tools to help you resolve design obstacles
- Design & Create a beautifully balanced piece of jewelry

and multi-cycle curing we can create a variety of delicate pieces for use as jewelry or whatever else you might imagine.
A sampling of Jeff’s work will be shared to illustrate some of the possibilities with this technique. The focus of the workshop will be on construction methods; but students will also explore surface ornamentation, finishing and joining multiple forms.
This is a technique workshop that is not project-specific; but it will enable students to create their own individual designs. Participants should have a basic working knowledge of polymer clay, and be comfortable working with other materials. (A small materials fee will be charged)

Ominum Gatherum,
Polymer Style
W,Th, 2/12, 2/13
$220
801-718-8903
Geometry and nature gracefully commingle when Ominum Gatherum, a “miscellaneous collection”, take form in my latest Master Workshop, one that includes many new and exciting never-before-taught techniques. I’ve always adored contrasts in design (color, texture, patterning, and form, and I’ve indulged that fondness in this workshop. Combining my “Geo Form” geometric grid patterning surface ‘treatment, with colorful Cabbage Roses and Fluttery Leaves, is one example.
We will explore the world of texture, contrast, form, and balance as you create several different elements which you will combine into an arrangement – as jewelry or décor, whatever you’d like. Using your clay color palette of choice (and a few light touches of alcohol inks), you’ll learn to make all of the elements you see in these photos. Click here for more details about these elements.
Along with the many skills acquired while creating and assembling the varying elements, you will learn my methods for quickly and efficiently adding a backing to your piece, applying a professional bail and pin back, creating handmade earwires, and properly curing your work to avoid surprise breakages.
I looking forward to sharing my arsenal of polymer how to’s, solutions, tricks, tips, and aha-moment-worthy gems! Please join me!
