Note from Patsy:
All previous students must have color plates completed prior to our workshop. A single color plate will consist of 6 colors in each family of colors. To clarity, a plate of blues with have six colors of blue, dark to light.
I request all students send me your desired jewel designs 2 -3 weeks prior to the workshop at patsy@patsycroft.com. This allows me to have on hand the materials needed for your jewel in case you want to go out side the box and make a jewel larger than 1.5″ x 1.5″. Beginners to plan to work in the 1.5″ x 1.5″ format.
My requirements are only to insure completion and fulfillment in this beautiful art form as we work together. Look forward to sharing with everyone. Patsy

Please bring several warm colors, reds oranges and yellows. If you have questions please, call me 205-478-9977 or send an email to patsy@patsycroft.com I use leaded enamels but you are welcome to use either leaded or non leaded. I can tell you the last school I taught in they were adamant on using all non leaded. After one day of demo they all ordered leaded.
