(ONE DAY WORKSHOP)

In this course students will use metal clay to create a frame pendant to explore narratives in jewelry. Metal clay proves to be the perfect material to unify dissimilar found objects into a cohesive narrative piece. Demonstrations will include beginning and advanced metal clay techniques, resin, mold making, and embedding photos or images in resin. Students will also learn how to use embeddable findings. In this course we will use silver metal clay, fine silver eyelets and UV resin.
