23 F S - “Precious Metal Clay (PMC) and Glass”
2-Day Class – Friday Oct. 3rd & Saturday, Oct. 4th
If you love silver, glass and dichroic jewelry, PMC is going to be an exciting addition for you. PMC is a wonderful alternative to traditional metalsmithing because it is pure metal in clay form. Students new to PMC and those with more experience will learn techniques to combine this fabulous silver clay with glass. In this 2 day class we'll explore stamping, texturing, manipulating and bezeling the clay and creating dichroic cabochons for jewelry. Options for firing both will be covered as well as polishing and finishing your pieces.
$60 Lab Fee
