In this class, students will learn to make one petal and one leaf cane, tweak and recombine them into several different cane parts and combine them to make beautiful mirror-image pendants using Swarovski hot fix crystals. This class is geared toward the intermediate clayer who is familiar with making skinner blends but who may not have had the opportunity to create canes yet. Lynne Ann will show students how to work with the canes to create pieces that are smooth to the touch and nicely finished without having to sand them, how to cut even slices, tips on making durable pieces with structural integrity and work on composition and color combinations. Students will leave the class with a finished mirror image pendant and several pieces of canes that can be used to create coordinating beads, earrings, pins or other pieces in the future
