Creative
Journey Studios is excited to offer a wonderful polymer experience – two days
of sharing polymer ideas with Dani Torres and Natalia Garcia de Leaniz. This
class will be held in advance of Synergy 3 on March 10th and 11th at the
Studios in Buford, Georgia. This dynamic couple from Spain presents new ideas for
working with their favorite art material – polymer clay.
Natalia
will lead you back to the retro world of the sixties while exploring color and
textures, combining different types of free cuts - straight, curved and conical
- to build chunky and eye-catching beads.
Natalia
will cover two kinds of beads that bring together many different techniques,
each one more useful, quick and easy to enjoy: free hand blade and craft knife
cutting, drilling, texturing, Skinner-blending, and using liquid clay. She will
then help you combine them to make bracelets and necklaces, looping for the
perfect balance from bead to focal, from form to color.
Dani
will share his particular interest in hollow forms, where polymer clay's unique
capabilities to balance lightness and structural robustness meet the endless
possibilities for inspiration, ever most beautiful, offered by Nature. In this
class Dani will help you create super-hollow pieces to wear. He’ll share views
and tips on design, balance and composition to fabricate ethereal beads and
bracelets. 
If
you are coming to Synergy 3, we hope you will expand your visit by taking
advantage of this opportunity to learn from these international superstars! Experience
a mini-retreat at Creative Journey Studios, where an intimate teaching
environment with a gallery and study collection full of inspiration will
breathe new life into your polymer art.
