Come join us in creating beautiful jewelry or small-scale sculpture made with silver metal clay. Make silver jewelry or one of a kind silver sculpture without having to be experienced in traditional metalsmithing or casting techniques. It is a relatively quick process for those who like complex images, but don't have the tools or the time and money to invest. Metal Clay is made up of pure metal and a binder, which burns away during firing, leaving a piece made of fine silver. The process is the same as working with clay and lends itself to sculptural pieces that would be difficult to fabricate out of sheet and wire. Through demonstrations and plenty of time to work, we will explore forming the clay and techniques of achieving texture. Firing and finishing techniques will be discussed.
