This technique offers the ability to 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 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. Through demonstrations and plenty of time to work, we will explore forming the clay and using a variety of techniques to achieve texture. Firing and finishing techniques will be discussed.
