Learn how to make beautiful jewelry using Metal Clay. Metal Clay is a new art material made of metal powder and an organic binder. It feels like putty and works like clay. Once shaped and dried, it’s fired in a kiln. Once fired, only the metal remains. Students will begin working with copper and progress to silver. You will learn to form objects by rolling, stamping, texturing, molding and cutting. You will also learn the properties of metal clay and explore a variety of embellishing and finishing techniques for your wearable artwork. Metal clay is an exciting and fun material that allows beginners to achieve very professional results. No experience is necessary. Intermediate students may work on projects of their choice with guidance from the instructor.
