Vein + eye, pick one
Monarch cells or the lime-yellow eye-spot. Black wrap. Thin slice. Take-home: slices that read at arm’s length. Bench sheet.
Field Marks
Polymer clay, taught from the jewelry: black field, lime-yellow eyes, monarch veins, overlay clusters. Four bookable classes. Guilds, art centers, residencies — not a product launch.
Why this series
The work is already a lesson. Eyes, barbs, white ticks, and slices stacked like scales on black. Students leave with pieces that sit next to her bench — and with a laminated step deck (her photos + each step) so the sequence lives on the home tile. Read the six markers before you book.
The four classes
Both tracks, then overlay
Make the cane you skipped, then stack 5–9 thin slices on a black disc the way the statement ring is built. Bench sheet.
Sister pair
One graphic disc + one overlay cluster. Optional tiny monarch on top. Not a 14-piece bird silhouette. Bench sheet.
Full series
Saturday = Barbs + Plumage. Sunday = sister pair + jewelry finish (stud+drop, window, or rings). Host bakes twice.
Also: Colors
A schematic manual
Colour as the subject — old plates, numbered parts, the glow limit. Two or three hues on black paper. Take-home: the textbook and slices that still read. Textbook · Bench sheet.
