Ginger:

"...I have studied extensively with Charles Lewton-Brain, who has spent the last 30 years researching Foldforming, and who has received numerous awards, including the prestigious British Rolex Award for this innovative way of working metals. In essence, Foldforming is a way of creating texture and dimension in metals quickly and easily using a minimum of tools. Its applications are limitless.

We will begin with basic folds, and I'll demo every 1/2 hour, giving time between demos for you to make samples of each fold. I'll have many many samples to show how I use Foldforming, both as art jewelry objects, and as creative elements useful for decor (like a vessel), or as elements part of another use. ..."

Virginia,

Do you have room in the Friday night class for me? I can't do the Sat/Sun but I'd like to join in on Friday.

I'll get the sign up form done and faxed to you tomorrow from work.

Hugs,

Yippe Skippie! I am IN!!!!

I will see you that Friday night. I may not have bells on but I'll have a Spinner Ring in my very near future! They tinkle a little bit, right? lol



I can't wait.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!! I'm home safe and sound but only after enjoying the stuffing out of this class. I am loving my Spinner Ring. Now anyone who knows me doesn't expect perfection out of me and I didn't disappoint tonight either! lol My spinners are a little tight right now but I'm told to (sigh) wash the dishes while wearing my ring so I can get the polishing compound out from underneath the spinners. That certainly will free up some space and make the spinners spin freely the way they should.

Here are pics of my ring:







It's quite a heavy ring but it's really graceful on my hand.

Thank you, Ginger... and as always, thank you Ed & Virginia for another wonderful instructor.
