2 day workshop
January Saturday 22 & Sunday 23

This class will focus on a pendant with a natural stone set on metal clay. The emphasis will be on bezel making, creating a metal clay backplate, using overlay paste to fuse bezel wire.
Things provided
10 grams of art clay silver
6mm natural stone(you’ll have a couple color options)
Fine silver bezel wire
Overlay paste
Use of tools, torches, kiln, textures, etc
6 hours in person instruction
The focus will be on stone setting not on individual projects- you will learn how to set a bezel.
No personal stones please- this is a basic stone setting in metal clay class. To do this technique at home you will need a kiln or live locally so I can fire projects for you. This technique can’t be done with torch firing only.
Please call for questions.
Previous metal clay experience is helpful but not required.

Class Cancellation policy- If you sign up for a class and register online you may cancel for full refund 7 days prior to class. If you cancel after that for any reason there will be no refund for the class. Please know that I attempt to be flexible but the planning and purchasing of supplies is expensive. Things happen and life can be a big mystery. Unfortunately, it is too hard to run a small shoestring business without a policy. This policy is consistent with the industry standards.
After several years of "playing" with Metal Clay and taking several classes myself, I took the dive and received my Level 1 certification from Art Clay World. I love bringing this art/craft to people who would otherwise think metal work is too scary. If you can handle a roller, cookie cutter & texture plates/molds you can create a lovely piece of jewelry that you can treasure. I have a couple of quick videos on youtube, in addition to the one above, you can access here for more information: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2vgdfYGZL5nkOR8AowqOiQ
