A Class In Material Fusion

Gail Crosman Moore, an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and teacher

This full day in person class will fuse texture, color, and form using a myriad of materials. Gail Crosman Moore will tell you all about the shrink plastic bead making molds created and manufactured by artist Julie Haymaker and how to use them to make your own pendant/ornament.
