FAVO - Faith Arts Village Orlando - is located at 718 Highland Ave. 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!

Info: We will start off the day with a short introduction to precious metal clay and expectations for the class.

Info: We will start off the morning session making our miniature embellishments. We'll select from an assortment of molds and use silver clay to form our tiny shells, etc.

Info: We will take a break for one hour to refresh and re-nourish. You are welcome to bring your lunch and stay in the studio during this time. But there are a wealth of great restaurants of all types and price ranges within a mile of the studio, a couple within easy walking distnce.

Info: After lunch, we will start off by creating the background for our sealife miniatures. Once the backgrounds are ready, we will assemble the pieces and get everything attached and secure. Time permitting, we will fire the pieces using butane torches, then finish and polish!
