P279 - Copper & Silver Clay: A Mixed Marriage

[back to quicklinks]
$ 140  

Have you been yearning to learn about silver clay, but just couldn’t afford to make the commitment? Have you been intrigued with the BronzClay, but turned off by the long firing process? In this workshop we’ll have fun playing with the new quick fire copper clay and learn various ways to combine the copper with the silver. You’ll learn what works…and what doesn’t and how to go about attaching the clays to one another to get the most optimal  results. Students will create several pieces by choosing from an assortment of projects, according to their level of expertise. Finishing techniques will also be covered. This fast paced workshop promises to be packed with lots of fun and info. Best of all, you’ll be amazed at just how creative a jewelry artist you can be!
