13523 - Create a Silver Snowflake Pendant
Course Overview

Join us for a fun workshop where you'll learn to craft a silver snowflake 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 snowflake pendant. All the necessary tools and materials will be provided. A materials fee of $85 is payable to the instructor at the beginning of class. You can pay the material fee with cash, Venmo, or a check. If you pay with a credit card, there’s an extra 4% credit card fee, plus a 7.625% tax.
