Calling All Super Sleuths!!! Did you know that you can determine whether or not an individual is being deceptive by studying their statements and handwriting??? Statement analysis is a process in which a statement, either written or oral is analyzed to determine deceptiveness.  Did you know that there are "danger signs" in handwriting?? That you can tell if someone is having random thoughts about suicide and so much more by analyzing his/her handwriting??  It might sound crazy but it's true.

We are excited to welcome Nancy Sacco to our artist instructed classes as BrainVessel Gallery. A perfect time of the year to make something special for you or a gift for someone special.  This will be a fun class and you will walk away with a pretty sterling silver bracelet that YOU make.

Students will learn how to measure for a good cuff fit, file, form and hammer wire pieces.  You will then solder the pieces together with silver solder using a small butane torch.  The cuff will be hammered to shape on a bracelet mandrel and then tumbled for a beautiful shine.  Nancy will provide each student with a template and written instructions.  No experience required.  Age is 18 and up due to use of torch.  All materials are provided.

Come be intrigued by the fire as ceramic artist Maureen Joyce, takes you deeper into the various firing techniques of Raku. This class will have several demonstrations and multiple firings per student. Students will glaze pre-made bisqueware and experiment with glazes in the multiple firings. Unlike other processes in ceramics, the pieces are removed from the kiln while still glowing hot. Students will learn both the traditional and contemporary techniques that make this kind of firing so exciting! You’ll be able to take home your fired work the day of the workshop. Weather permitting.  Due to working with fire, anyone under 18 must have adult supervision.
