Metal Clay Jewelry from Natural Objects

This one-day class on metal clay will show you how to use nature and natural items as a basis for your metal clay jewelry.  Students will use natural items directly as a substrate or textural component of their work, as well as use 2-part silicone molding compound to create molds so that repeat items can be make from a single natural item. Students will take home a finished piece of silver jewelry, as well as a mold or two for future use. This workshop is for beginner to advanced metal clay students.
