Janet first came to William Holland in 2001 to take a wire class at the urging of her sister, Dianne Brooks, who is also an instructor at William Holland, and has been attending ever since. With a degree in Clothing and Textiles, she began designing and publishing patterns for making Battenberg Lace and smocking for women in 1986. When she discovered the knitting machine in 1991, she began designing patterns and teaching at knitting seminars around the country. In 2001 Janet started teaching jewelry classes across the state of Arkansas at various bead shops and invitational venues. Topics included wire, PMC, cold connections, silver soldering, Viking knit and chainmaille. Her latest and most fun adventure has been flame painting on copper: the precise placement of colors and patterns using different temperatures of torch flame. See examples at:

Flame Painting on Copper - Janet Pace In this class, we will work on copper, using an open torch flame to create precise pattern placement and color and mastering the color progression caused by changes in flame temperature. We will use these techniques to create unique jewelry items including pendants, earrings and bracelets. All students will begin with copper stampings, but we will learn to fabricate original designs with cold connections and soldering techniques as the class progresses. Tools will be available for you to use in class; however, you are welcome to bring your own metalworking tools if desired. Eye protection and closed-toe shoes required. Lab fee includes detailed instructions for planned projects; use of instructor’s tools, solder and sealants; some sheet copper and wire; and materials for two pairs of earrings, three pendants and one bracelet.
