Crackle Techniques

Don't forget - Sunday September 8 is our special "make-up" class for the one we had to cancel earlier this year.

I will be demonstrating a variety of crackle techniques using different materials.   Because some of these methods require some drying time, I recommend making something simple like earrings or a small brooch.  There will be a two-page handout.
