| My trip to the USA was absolutely amazing!! I took two classes on soldering and can now officially create with fire! I am now in the process of finding a distributor here in Greece that can fit a Smith Little Torch System with the tanks we have here... not too easy! Ideas for pieces are filling my head and there are nights when I cannot sleep for all of the excitement of what I can now create. I also took an intensive course in Precious Metal Clay - and am now a certified PMC Guild member and hold a certification to teach PMC to others. As my other classes are beginning to fill up, I will look into offering classes in metal clay in the near future. The course was challenging and at times a bit frustrating, but I learned more than I could have ever imagined possible and am so much more confident in working with metal clay. I was able to purchase the new bronze clay when I was in New Mexico and am looking forward to working with this new medium. I am hoping to be able to combine bronze with gold and silver in some larger pieces - I will let you all know when I am able to complete a larger sculpture with these metals. All in all, my two weeks in New Mexico were exhausting, challenging, exciting and full of new knowledge and skills!! I would highly recommend the Rio Grande Education In Motion courses to anyone who is serious about their art and who wants to take their creations to the next level. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and all the instructors I met were excellent. I am glad to be home again and so very excited to start working with these new skills I have learned. Look for some changes in style and media over the next few months - especially with the next new posting in January. In the meantime, I am offering huge holiday discounts on all my existing creations in my store. I will be sending out weekly promotions to all members over the next seven weeks - with special discount codes for up to 50% off all merchandise in my store!! If you would like to use this discount code, please click to go to my website store!! I want to thank all of you for all your support and kind wishes both before and during my trip to New Mexico. It was the best thing I could have done for myself and for my work. I wish you all the best and hope this newsletter finds you all well. art is sexy! SiaCorrina |
