Tuition $95 M / $115 NM
Studio K
Beginner
Offered: Aug 6
Metal clay is a relatively new product consisting
of microscopic particles of metal in a moist
organic binder. It is pliable like clay and fired
in a kiln to burn off the binder and fuse the
particles into a solid piece of metal. It is a very
versatile material that lends itself to mixed
media combinations with glass, ceramics,
and other materials as well as with traditional
metalsmithing techniques. Accessible and
easy to learn, beautiful pieces can be made
by the average crafter in a few hours. In this
workshop, you will design your own texture
plate and templates to make a one-of a kind
pendant and earring set. Add some sparkle to
your creations with your choice of CZ. Learn
how to roll and texture the clay, make a bail,
set a stone, and finish and polish your pieces.
A $95 materials fee is paid directly to the
instructor. See supply list for details.

In this fun and relaxing workshop we will be creating beautiful
beach art with an assortment of shells, colored beach glass, glitter,
and more on an 8 x 10” white frame. We finish it off with resin to
complete a beautiful beach scene. I encourage you to bring your
own sea shells that you have and any other mementos that you
would like to encase in art resin. For insurance purposes, students
will not be handling the resin. We will have helpers that will apply
the resin to your frame. Due to the materials used in this class,
resin will handled outside. The $50 material fee covers all supplies.
