July 31-Aug 1, Bakersfield California (In a very nicely air conditioned conference room)
Come join Jana for two days filled with ‘out of the box’ polymer education, plus fun, relaxation and laughs. There are so many interesting, unique and exciting patterns and components that can be created using my Laser Cut technique. During our workshop, we’ll spend the first day, and part of day two, exploring some of the different ways to create these Laser Cut components…..you’ll have plenty of personal time to experiment and relax into that wonderful “polymer creating zone” (you know, the one where the world falls away J). Then, (on day two), with your newly created Laser Cut components, you’ll fashion a beautiful pendant (or two, plus earrings and more if there is time).

Our fifth Annual PolyPalooza Retreat will will be held at the CalNeva Resort on the North Shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe at Crystal Bay. Situated in a quiet location right on the lake shore, there is convenient access to local restaurants, shops and casinos.
PolyPalooza is a low-key retreat where we experiment and create with polymer clay. We will have periodic demonstrations throughout the day by attendees, so we can stretch our legs a bit and learn something new!
The retreat is open to Clayville California members as well as the public (space permitting). You may attend for all four days, or just pay, "by the day", if you wish. We think, "The more, the merrier!"
There will be an opportunity to share clay creations, a raffle & silent auction, and the camaraderie of creative souls. Add to that the glorious surroundings of Lake Tahoe and PolyPalooza 2011 is shaping up to be another wonderful retreat!

Home Sweet Home Shrine
Wednesday, May 30
Polymer clay is the perfect medium for creating these small, house-shaped shrines. In this technique-driven class, students will be making all of the component parts of their shrines by stamping into clay and making personalized tiles. We will cover rubber stamping, painting, embedding, gold leaf, collage, transfers, embossing, beading and mosaic. This is the class where you get to use all that stuff you've been collecting over the years!
Embedded Hearts
Wednesday, May 30
Hearts are one of my favorite symbols and in this workshop we will create embedded heart pendants using polymer clay as the foundation. Polymer clay is an extremely versatile medium that is ideal for embedding all sorts of things, including metal, beads, jewelry pieces, paper, and buttons. The basics of stamping into polymer clay and painting will be covered as well.
Thursday, May 31
This foundation class is all about exploring the endless possibilities of polymer clay by focusing on the process of tile making. Tiles will be painted, powdered, stamped, embedded, collaged, transferred, layered, embossed and gold leafed. I will also share techniques for altering commercial tiles. By the end of class you will have a gorgeous set of tiles that can be used in mixed-media mosaics or a variety of other art projects.
Friday, June 1
In this non-traditional approach to quilt making, we will use polymer clay to create individual quilt squares. Each square will have an intricate design, leading to an overall beautiful, jewel-like quilt. Myriad mixed-media techniques will be explored, including using molds, stamping, painting raw clay, mica and embossing powders, gold leaf, beading, and embedding metal, fabric, paper, and jewelry into the clay.
http://www.rockybeads.org/ .... and it is NOW open to the public so disregard their wording. I am doing a presentation for the bead society on Thursday called the "Klewvolution" (honey gave me the name) registration the workshop is June 23-24th in Centennial, CO.
Also on Friday, June 22nd I will be having a Trunk Show at, "Bead It" in Centennial too! Hope to see some of my Colorado customers there!
