Make Your Own Textures for Metal Clay

Learn different methods of making your own texture plates for use with metal clay. Techniques include, but are not be limited to, photo-polymer plates (for stamps-as seen in the image above), polymer clay tear-away sheets, carved polymer clay and 2-part silicone molding materials.

From these unique and one-of-a-kind textures, students will be able to make at least a pendant or a pair of earrings over the weekend. In addition, go home with new textures & skills to use in future metal clay artwork.
