On another note, I’d like to share with you some of the work that I’ve been doing lately. Most of it has to do with caning and mokume gane<\/em> effects.<\/p>\n

The following are hollow forms. The third one is a combination of copper and White Bronze. The fourth photo shows solid bi-cone spherical beads. <\/p>\n

In the last four you can see a third, pinkish color. This is created by mixing bronze and copper clay.<\/p>\n

I’ve been asked whether I am going to teach some of these techniques in my next workshops. Absolutely – some techniques I am still working on, but I will certainly teach what I feel confident about. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
