Sept. Monday 13th Meeting’s Demo Was Corny!

DEMO #1 Kasi Alhaus’ Extruder Ornamental Corn. Kasi showed us how to create ornamental corn ear canes using our extruders. This is a great way to use up ‘scrap’ clay because this type of grain comes in hundreds of different colors.

She was using her trusty green Makin’s extruder. She rolled out her scrap on the same setting on her pasta machine. Then used a 3/4″ round cutter to form lots of circles from the sheeted clay. She stacked the clay circles alternating colors into a neat round column that fit into the extruder.

Laura Tabakman is a fiber artist and a polymer clay artist with an inventive approach to combining materials and techniques to create jewelry, mixed media sculptures, and art installations. 

She has a passion for experimenting and working with different approaches to these materials – especially those that are sheer and translucent.  Her personal work and creative process with polymer clay is mesmerizing – making you wonder…”How did she think of that?” and, “How did she do that?”

In addition to her own art, she is perhaps best known in the worldwide clay community as one of the lead artists/curators of the 2017 international collaborative exhibition, Into the Forest. 

She is an award-winning studio artist, whose work has been shown in exhibitions nationally and internationally and has been featured in books and magazines.
