As artists and crafters, we’re often collectors – we have bits and pieces of this and that stashed throughout our studios or spaces. So why not bring them together to create a curated display case?
We’ll make our own curio boxes (I’ll provide two different patterns) and I’ll also demonstrate several types of handmade embellishments using air-dry clay, stamps, paint, beads, and more. Now Available On Demand!

Class Testimonials
|
Gwen's classes are so well planned. Her class projects are structured to maximize the the time in class as she incorporates multiple techniques, the proper use of tools, and detailed product information. I always have fun in her classes and leave with a wealth of information. She is a great person and extremely talented artist. |
Gwen's style and flair for the exotic always makes for an exciting class... a fusion of Bohemian & Asian with a gilded finale, her art is filled with echos of her travels. Gwen is happy to share her tips, tricks and techniques with all her students. You will leave class inspired! |
