In this introductory workshop, learn to work with the marvelous medium of metal clay while creating a beautiful pendant and matching earrings of fine silver. Metal Clay is made of fine particles of silver, gold, copper or bronze contained in a clay-like binder, which burn out during firing. These metals are reclaimed from various sources including x-ray films, photo processing and computers. Fine Silver is 99.9% silver and is more valuable than sterling silver, in fact, you will be able to stamp your finished pieces with the jeweler’s mark for fine silver. Metal clay is extremely malleable and can be shaped into beads, jewelry and small sculptures. No previous experience in jewelry making or metalsmithing is required.
