For Donna and Amy to share information.
Last Friday, we had our most recent Whine and Cheese Night! With our new air conditioning… it was much cooler in the studio! Everyone was very creative and made beautiful projects. We hammered, made peek-a-boo polymer clay and painted on glass!
We made new friends, too! Thanks to everyone who was able to join us. We’re looking forward to the next events.
We’re finally offering a mosaics class… Saturday, June 26th, 2010 from 10am – 3pm. Bring a lunch. We’ll provide drinks and some goodies.
You can choose from either a stepping stone or table top — $50.00 for either project.
You must choose a design before the class. Please see the website for details and register early! We have to prepare your project!
Join us this Friday, June 25th at 6:30pm for our Whine and Cheese!
Linda Ely will be back so we’ll have another craft for you. We’ve got either etched or painted w(h)ine glasses, peek-a-boo polymer clay pendants and metalwork jewelry! All 3 for just $30.00 per person — and that includes snacks and drinks!!! You can’t beat that deal!
Don’t forget to register. And… dress appropriately, we’ll be outside unless it rains!
Our recent Whine and Cheese was a HUGE success! If you were there, you already know that… If you weren’t — you missed a GREAT night!!!
Don’t worry, we’ll have more! We hammered metal jewelry, made some reusable totes and fused glass. Everyone made wonderful, beautiful things!
Expect to see more of these. And SOON!
Looking for a new place to shop for beads? Check out the Bead Warehouse. All of the information can be found on http://www.thebeadwarehouse.com/. They are the nicest people! They have a great sale going on right now and they really are there to help you.
Donna and I spent about 2 hours there on Saturday. We browsed, asked some questions, browsed some more, took a break to speak to the beadalon representative and then did some real shopping.
They have weekend hours and some Friday hours. All of the information is on the website. They have gemstones, glass beads, findings, silver, sterling, gold, chip beads, crystals… Just about anything you can imagine. Did I mention they are having a HUGE sale right now? We highly recommend them!
It’s worth the trip to Silver Spring. If you live in Howard County, bring a friend, go to lunch and make it a day!
Check out www.beaducation.com. They have great free tutorials! I found some interesting videos on metalwork jewelry. Enjoy!
We are working on some Friday night class ideas…
So far, we are thinking of doing a “round robin” type of event. We would offer a few different classes and you could do all of them.
What are we considering: ”Altered art/decorate” a reusable (grocery cotton type) bag, fused glass and metal work jewelry. (Just a small project for the fused glass and metal work jewelry.)
This will be a really great night! We haven’t picked a date yet but we’ll let you know.
Did I mention that we’ll have wine and cheese??? (Not much wine, but who is counting?)
Old Sage Farm has decided to take our show on the road. We are offering Jewelry Parties! So, what is a jewelry party?
Offer your home (or come to us), grab some friends and sell some jewelry. The hostess will recieve a discount on any purchases that they make and FREE jewelry — just for hosting. Everyone that attends will receive a gift and a discount for future classes! Or use it as a fundraiser — we’ll donate a percentage of our sales to the charity of your choice (including schools, churches, or other charities).
Be one of the first to offer this to your friends, co-workers, church or other group. Interested? Contact Donna at 301-774-3510 or email Amy at amy@oldsagefarm.com.
I like www.polymerclayexpress.com because they have a great selection. They are also a local store and we like to support local businesses. They’re located in Damascus, MD (about 10 minutes from Old Sage Farm). If you find items online, you can easily go to the store to purchase them. (Save on shipping.)
They have many items, not just polymer clay items. Great place to shop!

This is the place to add your favorite jewelry sites. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of them out there. Where do you find the best deals? Where do you find unusual jewelry? Is there a site that you get great ideas from? Help us to share this with others.
When you add a link, please tell us what you use that site for — buying supplies (if so, what are you buying there — beads, tools, etc.), good shipping rates, great ideas or all of the above!
