Hi Patty!
I thought I'd share a workshop Laura Tabakman is doing at the New York Polymer Clay Guild on May 12th and 13th, 2012.
Maybe the PA Guild might be interested???
Take care,
Valerie

Thanks much!

Attached are a few pictures and documents with the class description (copied below) and supply list.
Class description
In this jewelry class students explore the many ways of combining polymer clay and wire. Even when wire is used as a purely structural element, the piece is better served by using it as integral part of the design. The addition of wire can help give a piece a range of visual expression, from an organic to a very slick look, from delicate to strong, from shiny to rusted. It can connect the different elements, help add movement to a piece, strengthen a union or be used as armature. Wire can serve as hinges, jump rings, closure mechanisms, bails, etc. Students will learn how to use it in individual design elements, pendants, different kinds of findings for necklaces earrings and brooches, even to sew polymer, experimenting with different gauges for different purposes. The pros and cons of incorporating the wire before and after curing will also be discussed.
On the polymer aspect the class will be working on a series of basic design elements that will then be used to construct jewelry. Students will explore the use of inks and translucent clay; create a set of simple canes that can be used in different arrangements; and use textures and stamps in combination with powders and pigments.
At the end of both days students will assemble their elements into the jewelry of their choice (necklace, pendant, bracelet, brooch, earrings), most likely there will be enough elements to assemble several pieces.
This class is suitable for students of all levels.
