Description:
In this intensive caning workshop you’ll learn to make eight different flower canes from ONE skinner blend. You’ll make realistic-looking rose and daisy canes, tiny accent flowers, flowers with spots, variegation stripes, “folded petals” and several other designs.
This class teaches the fundamentals of caning and skinner blend manipulation. Learn to tint or “shift” the color of your blends, choose the best translucent clay for “caulking” the canes, fast and easy cane reduction with very little waste, and cutting thin slices.
At the end of class, students can swap pieces of their canes so they can leave with a whole bouquet of flowers. (Note: we can take some time in this class to arrange the cane slices into tiles or beads, but the class is mainly focused on making the canes, rather than using them. Not all 8 canes will be completely caulked and reduced in class...there is much repetition in the process, and in order to teach as many caning techniques as possible, the repetitive steps are left for after class time.)
