Metal Clay 1: Introduction

9 am - 6 pm

$179 + $105 kit

Metal Clay is an extraordinary new material for jewelry makers. Essentially a suspension of microscopic fine silver (or gold) particles in an organic binder, the material transforms from clay to metal upon firing. Metal Clay’s ease of workability and firing, and its capacity to pick up textures, make it unique. The material opens up vast possibilities for makers, in many cases without equivalent. Learn to create several key projects: a hollow bead, a syringe-drawn charm and a double-sided silver pendant with dichroic glass. 7 hours
