Precious Metal Clay Technique Class on Glass Inclusions!

There are a couple different styles to include fused glass bits with your pendant.

 We will work through a 2 part/ dry joining technique, that allows you to make a pendant in class. 

Samples will be available at Bead Soup

Many considerations will be covered in this class - the subject, texture, inclusions, decorating, as well as tips and tricks to consider how your piece will hang. 

• Preparing a template

• Settling a variety of shapes

• Rolling silver clay and thickness considerations when using a texture plate.

• Drying silver clay with props.

• Joining clay, wet to dry, dry to dry

• Adding embellishments

• Reinforcing connections

A variety of textures and molds will be available for use during class.

Afternoon session 1pm - 330pm

*Note!! If you are new to metal clay and take the morning class you will be prepared for the afternoon as well, 

both are very success oriented. 

If you are familiar with metal clay the morning can be a refresh,

the afternoon is more technique oriented.

*IF*

you do take both classes - you will receive 5gms extra clay as a bonus!

Join us for the day!
