I am really interested in learning Ruth Asawa’s wire sculpting technique. I know Nancy Banks demonstrated this some time back. How can I get in touch with her, or find out if she plans to teach this technique again. I have been search to find out how to do this for years.

[...] Art Clay Copper! Well, there’s nothing like volunteering to do a demo for the San Francisco Bay Area Metal Clay Guild to get one going! Kathleen Gordon and I did a demo last year on bronze clay. It went rather well, so we decided we would do something together again this year. We couldn’t decide what to do. We played with resins but then Pat Evans did a great demo on resins a couple of months ago so we decided to demo the new Art Clay Copper, which can be torch fired. We roped Sherry Cordova into playing with us. We got together at Sherry’s house and broke open our first package of clay. The clay comes in 50 gram packages and the information pamphlet that came from Art Clay World said that any clay that was opened had to be used right away or sealed in a vacuum sealed package. We made a few simple pieces like some end caps and charms, basically using up our 50 grams. We decided to try firing them on an open shelf in the kiln. The kiln was preheated to 1780°. The pieces to be fired were placed on a shelf covered with a sheet of kiln paper to prevent sticking. The pieces were fired for 30 minutes, then removed and dropped into water. This removed most of the oxides. It took some time in the pickle to remove most of the oxides that were left. Sherry took some pictures and you can see them on her blog. [...]
