About Us

 

Sympatica is  the website of Sympatica Ceramics and Sympatica Silver.
Sympatica brings together two craftspeople from differing backgrounds who formed a friendship while their kids were at pre-school and kept popping up in the same arts and crafts areas over the ensuing years, so here we are sharing our common love of creating things and teaching others to do so too.

 

Saskia Nardo is Sympatica Ceramics. 

Saskia  is a very talented Ceramic artist who has taught pottery and ceramics extensively in the Sydney area and is  now concentrating her artist efforts on finished ceramics.  Don’t be put of by the thought of the “old” ceramics we      all have a mental image of, Saskia’s work is funky and contemporary.    Most recently she has produced a new range     of ceramic focal beads which can be worn alone or incorporated into other beaded designs. Also available are    bisque beads which can be embellished using any of the Metal Clays.    Saskia is also a PMC Certified Artisan and loves combining these two wonderful mediums.

 

Donna Fox is Sympatica Silver. 

Donna comes from a varied arts and craft background and brings a wealth of knowledge to her teaching of Precious Metal Clay (PMC).  PMC or Art Clay Silver are the trade names of the 2 brands of metal clay available in Australia.  Metal clay is fine particles of silver that is combined with organic binder  and water to produce a clay like material.  This material can be rolled, molded or shaped into your own designs, once dried and sanded it is fired at least 600 degrees Celsius (which can be achieved using a butane torch). The remarkable result from this transformation is your own original piece of pure silver jewellery.  Donna is a Senior Teacher with  PMC and holds regular workshops     from simple
beginners through to Certification courses.
