Enjoy collegial time with other metal clay makers. This class is for students with at least basic skills in metal clay. During this open-studio time, students can work on their own creations at their own pace. There will not be active instruction, special projects and/or skills will not be introduced as a class. Students work independently but the instructor is always available to answer questions and assist. Textures, molds, cutters, etc. will be available for student use during class, but students will be required to bring their own personal working tools.

FAVO - Faith Arts Village Orlando - is located at 221 E. Colonial Dr. in downtown Orlando, just a few blocks east of I-4. Use the address 718 Highland Ave. in your GPS which will take you to the first parking lot. To enter the facility, turn north on Highland from Colonial, there is a stoplight, and enter the second driveway on the left, through a black fence. You will see a sign that says "Park Lake Presbyterian Church, FAVO Art Studios". Proceed through the parking lot to the far right and rear and on through the driveway connecting to a second parking lot. You will see an L-shaped building with colorful doors - that's us! I am studio 237, second from the end upstairs on the right. Look for the moons!
