Introduction to Metal Clay - 16 and up

West Nyack1 session Sunday, October 18 10:00am-4:00pm (with a one hour break)

Taught by Kelly Green Grady

Metal Clay is an exciting medium that begins as a suspension of tiny particles of silver in an organic clay binder. Metal clay can be shaped and layered, or textured by hand or with molds. It is as malleable as ordinary modeling clay. After drying and sanding, the clay is fired. During firing, the binder burns off, leaving pure metal (fine silver). Once fired, it can be polished or patinas may be added. Learn to make fine silver jewelry using metal clay (PMC brand). This course enables students with little or no jewelry-making experience to begin producing fine silver jewelry on their own. Learn the skills necessary to form, fire and finish PMC, producing earrings or a pendant. Students will leave class with one or more finished pieces depending on the complexity of the pieces they create. The materials fee includes a 15-gram package of PMC fine silver clay, (2) sterling silver earring findings, and (3) sterling silver jump rings. Please bring a "freezer" style ziplock bag (of any size) and a deck of cards to the workshop.
