Susan teaching Pebeo Washer Pendants!!



I keep getting requests for this class again, so I guess that I'll keep teaching it.  It makes a big mess, but it really is a lot of fun watching what your painted washers turn into!  I don't think that I've seen an ugly one yet!!  You will finish anywhere from 10-15 washers during the class and about 5 earring pairs, but you have to return to pick up your artwork on Wednesday or later since they take at least 3 days to dry.  You can bring items (FLAT items) to paint if you want to do something other than washers, but nothing too terribly large.  I've done a 7" tall wooden letter from Michael's before (smooth surface, not plywood type roughness) and it did look pretty good, but I can't guarantee anything other than the washers or earrings in class.  Resining on top of paint can be done at a later date and arranged whenever you want with me.   This class is offered in a morning and afternoon session since class size is limited.

Instructor Name:
Susan Council
Instructor Bio:
Susan grew up in Louisville Kentucky and enjoyed crafty activities throughout her youth beginning with decorated anise cookies for her grandfather. She learned how to crochet and darn socks from her grandmother and did many crafty things with the Girl Scouts (while sadly watching the boy scouts go off camping and totally being jealous). She enjoyed singing Alto with the church choir and then 2nd Alto with her acapella chorus in college (that was serious fun!). Work eventually brought her to Chattanooga, by way of Virginia and Florida.

In regards to beading, she started in 2001 at Fat Jane?s bead shop in Hixon with simple stringing and simple wirework and moved on to Right Angle Weave, Herringbone and a bunch of other stitches and was published in BeadWork 2014 Aug/Sept with ?Indian Summer? (Their name- hers is Moroccan Splendor) and again in 2015 BeadWork Favorite Stitches and even again in ?Favorite Bracelets.? Her only 15 minutes of fame. She did several craft fairs in an attempt to earn back some of her beading money and eventually was convinced to open a Bead Shop because she had so many extra beads. Probably not the best idea ever, but one can always dream, right? And now she hardly ever gets to bead (though she does really enjoy making (or rather planning out) KITS!!!
