Article for Art Jewelry magazine

Finally............30 or more hours of fun writing a project piece with photographs on how to make these earrings:  Soldered Shield earrings and variations on the theme.  Unfortunately it won't get published for a year................but patience is a virtue.  These are one of my all time favorites. 

2011 Class schedule is ready!

Happy New Year everyone!   Nicely in the midst of winter and it is a great time to settle back and finish some of those jewelry projects we all started last year.   But in the mean time I want to announce that my 2011 class schedule is up and posted on my website http://www.kayrashka.com/.   A few classes are yet to be added to the schedule.  I will be teaching at the Madison Art Glass and Bead show, Shake Rag Alley Art School, Peninsula Art School and the Milwaukee Bead & Button show.  I am teaching more project specific classes this year including some fun techniques:  etching, drilling river stones and setting rivets.   I hope you find my projects interesting.  Registration has just opened today for the Bead & Button show and one of my eight classes filled!  So...........just some encouragement if you were thinking of one of my 3 hour classes they seem to be going fast.   To register go to- http://search.beadandbuttonshowstore.com/beadandbuttonshow/search.asp?mode=search&ins=T648

Good luck and see you all this spring and summer!  Let me know if I can answer any questions about the classes.
