13512 - Jewelry Making with Silver Metal Clay
Course Overview
Craft a Sustainable Silver Mandala Treasure! Join us for a fun workshop where you'll master crafting a silver mandala pendant using silver metal clay. Discover the magic of Art Clay Silver, an eco-friendly recycled material containing pure .999 silver particles mixed with an organic binder and water. The binder and water disappear as you heat it, leaving a piece of 99% pure silver behind. You'll be guided through each step – from shaping and texturing to cutting, drying, firing, brushing, and adding those final touches. By the end of the workshop, you'll proudly finish your fine silver mandala pendant.
Materials fee: $75 payable to instructor at the start of class. All the necessary tools and materials will be provided.
