Julie Picarello’s polymer clay pendants are soothing and her palette is like a cleansing breath in this hectic season.

Julie’s developing these designs for her Cabin Fever Clay Festival (CFCF) class. The festival is a hands-on event held in Laurel, MD February 17-20 prior to the Synergy Conference.

Other teachers at CFCF include Jana Roberts Benzon, Maureen Carlson, Christi Friesen, Donna Kato, Nan Roche, Marie Segal, and Sarah Shriver. Contact the organizers for more information.

At the ArtWay in Damascus, MD, you can catch a “Personal Containers” class with Seth Savarick before Synergy or enjoy a two-day “Beyond the Blend” class with Dan Cormier after Synergy ends. The Baltimore area will be a hotbed of polymer clay ideas and talent this February. Need a gift for yourself? No wrapping or shopping necessary!

    Brava Julie!! I’ve loved your work since I first saw it.

    Now, does anyone have any ideas on how to come up with the cash to take one of these terrific classes? x.X

      Thanks for the post, Cynthia!

                  I’ve been wanting to get Julie out here to teach a workshop for a while and as the organizer for Cabin Fever Clay Festival in February, this was a great opportunity. There is still room for others to attend the Festival so come join the fun and play with Clay in Maryland! Looking forward to having Julie and the other wonderful instructors for several days of hands-on claying!

                  Kathryn
