Alley Kat Art will have a booth at the Merrie Monarch Festival on the Big Island of Hawaii April 12, 13, & 14.  Come by and visit.

After doing the Philadelphia Flower Show, we had lots of requests to purchase our jewelry online.  Since I rarely spend much time in front of my computer, I will make this as easy as I can for you, (and me), to stay up to date with new items fresh off my bench. I will post new art and jewelry as I finish them and put them right here, or new items that come in from the gallery featuring other artists' work.  You can contact me if you'd like to purchase anything.  Please subscribe to my email list in the 'contact' section of this website.

Nick Angelo Cannizzaro. Please join us for live music by PowerHound's Tony LeHoven guitar sampler, Rick Avallone, keyboards and iPhone, Eddie Sitzler, drums, and the Mystery Bass Player. Electrosonic art is a more conceptually based music, eschewing the confines of melody in order to deliver made-to-order tonality. Saturday's event will include fire spinning by Kat and Cholas.

Alley Kat Art will be hosting a weekend Bronze & Copper Metal Art Clay workshop by renowned and award winning artist Gordon Uyehara, November 12 & 13, in Kapaa.  Published and featured on the cover of Art Jewelry Magazine, Uyehara will be teaching techniques in forming metal clays into fine jewelry.

Copper, and Bronze Metal Art Clays are a unique material utilizing pure metal particles in an organic binder easily manipulated into designs.  After drying, the metal clay pieces are fired to temperatures that burn out the organic binder and fuse the metal particles into solid metal sculptures and jewelry.

Not only are bronze and copper clays less expensive alternatives to silver clay, their rich tones provide attractive design opportunities. This exploratory hands-on workshop will focus squarely on the fundamental concepts of using these base metal clays. We'll cover texturing, shaping, joining, refining, firing approaches and challenges, finishing, and combining clays through a variety of projects. A fun weekend of creating and learning!

Prerequisite: silver clay introductory class (preferred but not necessary)

 Class is limited in size and costs $275, which includes metal clay, materials and tool use. Sign up deadline and payment is due by Nov 1st.  Contact Kathy at 808 651-1766 or  www.alleykatart.com or email kat@alleykatart.com for student list and more information and to sign up.  You can also learn more about Gordon Uyehara and see his designs at his website at http://www.honudream.com.
