Use templates, textures, and a variety of techniques to create a trio (or more) of fine silver earrings made from metal clay. Metal clay allows artists to work in silver without saws or power tools. This flexible medium can be rolled, stamped, cut, and manipulated like traditional clay. Once fired, pieces are 99.9% pure silver. Please note: pieces will be completed in class but fired after class is over. Students can pick up the finished pieces the next day.
Students will Learn:
Learn basic metal clay techniques including working with the clay, sanding, and finishing, as well as how to set gemstones in metal clay. A demo will be done on how to finish pieces after firing by polishing and apply patina.
