Classes
Silver Metal Clay Jewelry
Learn to work with metal clay, a malleable, metal-bearing material that is perfectly suited for creating jewelry. Use your hands to shape it and a variety of tools to add detail and texture. You’ll fire the metal clay to transform it into a silver object. Add a new skill to your repertoire each week and combine them to complete at least two projects by the end of the class. You can repeat this class up to 4 times and learn something new each semester: creating dimension, custom texture, setting stones, hollow forms, and more.
