Bronze Metal Clay Jewelry for Beginners with Instructor Barbara Kirby
Classes start Oct 1st 7–9pm (eight consecutive Tuesday evenings)
During the (8) two-hour classes, participants will learn the process of making jewelry using Metal Clay. Students need no previous knowledge or experience and will have lots of fun creating stunning pieces. Metal Clay is a crafting medium consisting of very small particles of metal mixed with an organic binder and water for use in making jewelry. It’s easy to use, fun and non-toxic and is safely worked with one’s hands. The clay is pliable, providing great ease in designing, molding, stamping and carving. Once the clay has been dried, it is then fired in a kiln. During the firing process the organic binder burns away leaving the pure sintered metal.
All materials are included. ($340 per participant)
Class size is limited
