SHIELD OF FAITH
Who said burnt and crispy was a bad
thing? Not when you’re torch
firing white enamel! Yes, this pendant is white enamel! But before we get to the pendant,
you’ll learn the immersion process of torch-fired enameling. Then we’ll move on
to discussing which metals can be enameled, why some brass works and others do
not, what torches to use, which gas is preferable, how to develop color by
layering transparent enamels and much more. Finally, we’ll overfire enamel for
special effect and hammer out a beat with our riveting hammer.
All
students will be emailed a comprehensive 6-page Painting with Fire tutorial
prior to the workshop. Following the workshop, you’ll find technical support at
www.paintingwithfire.ning.com where you’ll meet friendly members excited about
torch firing. Why don’t you join us at the “ning” while you await the workshop!
KIT FEE - $40.00 – payable to instructor at class time
Instructor
provides all materials for the necklace, including enamels and enameling
equipment
STUDENT SUPPLY LIST
Students should bring

Eco-Printed Fabrics and Ribbon
$145 one-day class

Fabric
pieces are laid on the table, littered with fallen leaves, bygone rose petals,
neglected rusty relics of iron and copper, perhaps sprinkled with tea or
marigolds. Bundles of nature are
wrapped, bound, and steamed then left to transcend and create magic.
When
you leave class at the end of the day you will have a nice pile of dye printed
fabrics to use in all types of mixed media projects ~ books, jewelry, clothing
adornments, fabric flowers, whatever your imagination conjures up!
You
must be prepared to smell the heady aroma of eucalyptus and onion skins
steaming and be open to the surprise transformation of the dye process. You can’t plan what will happen but
that’s part of why this process is so intriguing to me, that and the fact it’s
all natural, available, and easy.
TUESDAY

We
will experiment with a variety of flora (I.e eucalyptus, roses) using different
mordants (i.e. tannin, iron, copper) and different types of fabrics, ribbon,
& dollies.


KIT FEE - $20 – payable to instructor at class time and includes:
STUDENT SUPPLY LIST
Protective gloves
and aprons (I will provide disposable plastic aprons/gloves)
Scissors
Bring extra fabrics,
doilies, ribbon you have that are natural fibers you may want
to dye.

POP ROCKS
The name of this piece is only the
beginning of a day of fun and discovery!
You’ll start by learning the immersion process of torch-fired
enameling. It’s fast, safe, fun
and patented! We’ll forge our pendant from scrap copper, distress it, enamel it
in a combination of opaque, transparent and coarse enamels. Next we’ll form the copper jump rings
from 12-gauge copper. You’ll use
the Jump Ring Jig, a nifty tool that will allow you to cut jump rings without
fear of cutting yourself! Always a
good thing! After soldering the jump rings, I’ll share how to enamel brass for
glorious transparent color! “Pop
Rocks” is a great workshop that covers some very useful skill areas.
All
students will be emailed a comprehensive 6-page Painting with Fire tutorial
prior to the workshop. Following the workshop, you’ll find technical support at

Botanical and Rust Dye Printed Scarf
$145 one-day class
We will experiment with a variety of flora
(i.e eucalyptus, roses) using different mordants (i.e. tannin, iron, copper)
and different types of silk and cottons (i.e habotai, chiffon), to print color
onto fabrics. After experimenting
on smaller pieces of fabrics you will then dye a scarf length of silk noil
fabric to create a scarf. The
scarf edges can be hemmed by hand or machine and other elements of adornment
attached i.e. vintage lace, buttons, beads, etc.
WEDNESDAY
I took my inspiration from India Flint’s
book titled “Eco Colour” about her journey using plants as dyes to print and
color fabric.
I modified this process so it can be done in
a day. Fabric pieces are laid on
the table, littered with fallen leaves, bygone rose petals, neglected rusty
relics of iron and copper, perhaps sprinkled with tea or marigolds. Bundles of nature are wrapped, bound,
and steamed causing the natural dye properties to leach into the fabric and
create prints and color.

You must be prepared to smell the heady
aroma of eucalyptus steaming and be open to the surprise transformation of the
dye process. You can’t plan what
will happen but that’s part of why this process is so intriguing to me, that
and the fact it’s all natural, available, and easy. Next time you’re walking down that country road you’ll have
a flower press in hand to collect nature’s bounty to use in this technique.

PWF TEACHER CERTIFICATION WORKSHOP
$145 one-day class
On June 25, 2013, the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office granted the bead pulling station, and the immersion process of enameling
associated with it, a Utility Patent (#8,470,399). As a result, Painting with Fire
Studio has embarked on the Teacher Certification and Licensing Program to help
fill the demand for Painting with Fire Workshops. We simply cannot keep up with
the requests for workshops. Rather than to decline these opportunities, we want
to refer them to you.
The Certification Program is a two-day process,
which can be fulfilled by taking either the Shield of Faith Workshop OR the Pop
Rocks Workshop AND the Painting with Fire Teacher Certification Class.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to work with
P-1 overglaze enamel; learn what brass is suitable for enameling, why, and how
to get gorgeous transparent color; how to fire ceramic decals onto enamel
pendants; how to work with liquid enamels. We’ll also cover the business aspects of teaching, including
what to look for in a teaching facility, how to structure your class, safety
and troubleshooting issues, liability, etc.
At the end of the day, if you decide that you want
to teach, payment of a $250 Licensing Fee completes the licensing process. You’ll immediately begin to enjoy a 20%
discount on enameling supplies, promotion of your workshops on our website,
technical support from PWF Staff, expedited treatment of orders and much more. You’ll quickly experience your return
on investment through teaching fees and enamel sales.

reconstructed, Upcycled and Wearable!
$145 one-day
class
Each designer will take 3-5 shirts and
reconstruct them into a fun and arty new one. Basic sewing skills are helpful but not necessary (if not
experienced be prepared to learn basic sewing machine operation or you can hand
stitch). I will show various samples and designs of how to recreate your garment.
Pattern ideas and information will be given to each student about how to cut
your shirt so it becomes a style that fits and flatters each individual. This is an exercise to give you freedom
to cut existing garments and confidence that you can reconstruct unloved
clothing.
Once the basic shirt is completed it will be
a wearable garment but it can be further embellished by adding pockets, lace,
doilies, buttons, embroidery, whatever you envision. I will give each student individual time and help with
designing and give ideas for embellishments
I am so excited to have come up with simple
and easy ways of reconstructing button down shirts that anyone interested in
clothing design can accomplish!
Really!


KIT FEE - optional fee if you need extra items - Many shirts to choose from if needed at $4 per shirt (my cost). Optional embellishment kits which will include lace, buttons, etc. for a small fee. Some free things available too! – payable to instructor at class time and includes:
I WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING FOR USE IN CLASS
sewing machine to share
garment racks
hangers.
STUDENT SUPPLY LIST

Sewing needles and

Sewing machine
3-5 button down
shirts - One that fits you (or person who will wear shirt) as the base shirt,
can be sleeveless, short sleeved, etc. but needs to button up the front. Other shirts to coordinate with base
shirt need to be button down shirts, they can be men’s. You can find decent shirts to upcycle
at thrift stores or yard sales. Think about shirt weight and how it will drape
as a skirt. I prefer to use natural fibers. We will cut the coordinating shirts
to use parts of to add onto the base shirt so don’t have the shirt fabrics too
heavy for the base shirt, i.e. you wouldn’t want to add denim to a silk top.
OPTIONAL
buttons

laces

THE
ALL NEW
3-RING
CIRCUS
Richard Salley and Jessica Jordan team up to bring you an intensive 3-day workshop that focuses entirely on the process of ring making. In this series of workshops we will be presenting how to make 3 rings, 3 different ways in 3 days. Whether this will be your first foray into ring making or you want to expand your ring making knowledge, you will leave the workshop with newly acquired skills that will launch you into a new level of jewelry making.
Day 1
The Hollow Donut Ring – Begin your Circus experience with a basic design that is determined to get you geared up and primed for the other types of rings you will learn to
make. Although simple in concept, the Hollow Donut Ring has unlimited design possibilities...mix metal, add stones, create patterns and textures to name a few options. On Day 1 you will learn how to properly size a ring for any given gauge of metal, how to resize a ring once it has been made, and how to finish your piece in a polished, professional way.
Day 2
The Stone-On-Stone Ring – The grand finale! End your circus stint by stacking stones! Learn another way to add interest and intrigue to your rings. Everyone will want to know how you manage to secure one stone on top of another. On Day 3 the mystery will be revealed and you will acquire a skill that will blow the lid off the design possibility big top! From here, the sky is the limit!

The Prong-Set Ring – Continue your Circus experience on Day 2 by creating a sterling silver prong-set ring. Not every stone fits nicely into a conventional bezel and a prong setting
offers options that usual bezels can't offer. We will also discuss various ring shank possibilities. Learning both how to create a prong setting and securely set a stone are two skills that can easily be applied to an infinite number of ring design possibilities. A valuable addition to your jewelry-making arsenal!

Great to have such diverse and talented instructors close to Austin! I will check it out!
ReplyDeleteHi Brigitte! I’m glad you like the lineup of instructors at Art Retreat at The Prairie - Fall 2014!!! I’m really pleased with the instructors and the projects they are teaching. As a matter of fact, I’m trying to figure out a way of taking classes at my own retreat this time! But, I am going to have the same difficulty as my students…figuring out which classes to take! I really would love to take them all!
