Millefiori canes in polymer clay class starts March 8
A class titled Millefiori Canes in Polymer Clay: The Onion Cane, is scheduled at the Rehoboth Art League from 1 to 4:30 p.m., Wednesdays, March 8 to 22.
Polymer clay is an extremely versatile man-made art clay that is oven cured to a durable finish. Class participants will learn to fashion polymer clay in custom blends, patterns and shapes using techniques that will enable them to create what instructor Donna Baratta calls the onion cane. This caning technique is borrowed from Venetian glassmakers, who use rods of glass to create gorgeous patterns.
Students may choose to use onion canes to create fanciful or realistic designs, from butterflies to flowers for a bud vase, or beads used to make jewelry. Several color options will be provided to choose from. In addition to the class fee of $150 for members and $185 for nonmembers, there is a $40 materials fee to be paid to the instructor.
To register, go to rehobothartleague.org or call 302-227-8408, Ext. 112. All classes are held at the Rehoboth Art League located at 12 Dodds Lane, Henlopen Acres.
