Bonnie Bishoff Workshop

I've just spent 2 days on Zoom with Bonnie Bishoff at a workshop she taught through the Kansas City Polymer Clay Guild (KCPCG). It was an excellent workshop. Bonnie is very creative and her demonstrations and explanations were clear and easy to follow. She spent the first day teaching us how she does marquetry - also known as inlay. She is a wizard with the Exacto knife and creates very intricate pieces. On the second day, she helped participants learn how to join their pieces into jewelry in which the individual sections moved freely against each other. This created necklaces what were fluid and comfortable. I enjoyed the class, and really appreciate that KCPCG arranges these excellent learning opportunities via Zoom. Below are some other pieces I made.
