Metal Clay after lockdown

6/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Today we complete our first Art Clay Silver Instructor course of 2020. It sounds strange when I say it out loud. What we have had a hectic time. Humanity was hit by the contagious Coronavirus COVID-19 and almost the entire world was locked! The Dutch government also instituted a lockdown, fortunately an intelligent one. For Studio “Nevada's Dream”, this meant no workshops and/or training for 3 months, nor was it responsible.
 
At the beginning of March, Karien van 't Westende from Bergen op Zoom enrolled in the training to become a Certified Art Clay Silver Instructor Level 1. And what was she looking forward to the start that we had planned together for March 30. It was not to be, we had to patiently wait for a relaxation of the control measures. And these finally came in May, a step in the right direction.
And today Karien can be proud of 7 beautiful silver jewelry, all made of Art Clay Silver. She is already skilled in the art of goldsmithing. So an advantage for both. Karien knows exactly how a piece of jewelry can be forged technically and therefore thinks in steps. She uses the correct order to achieve a beautiful design. A technical view is also useful for metalclay.
 
We spend 3 full days together in my studio. No shaking hands and appropriate distance. Easy to do in a space of 65 m2 in total. We get to know each other better between activities. Funny, she is a neighbor of my dear sister Inge Florentinus, the sister of my husband Michael. During the conversations we discover a reasonable number of similarities. How special, our lives have followed a similar path.
And now it is already over. How wonderful it felt to be able to teach again!
I really missed it. The days have flown by.
Dear Karien, thank you for coming, creative input and pleasant chats.
I hope to see you more often to work with silver clay.
That is allowed in Harderwijk and of course also possible in Bergen op Zoom.
Have fun in the world called metal clay!
