EXPLORE METAL CLAY

Kelly Green-Grady 22F WKS842: Sunday, Nov 20, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM 1 session $140 $50 Material fee payable to instructor. No senior discount or membership fee Beginner Join us as we take a trip into the world of silver metal clay (PMC3). Metal clay is an exciting medium that begins as a suspension of tiny particles of silver in an organic clay binder. It can be shaped and layered or textured by hand or with molds and is as malleable as ordinary modeling clay. After drying and sanding, the clay is fired with a torch or kiln. When fired, the binder burns off, leaving pure sintered metal (fine silver). It can then be polished, or patinas added. This introduction will give you the foundation for achieving great results when working with silver clay, including a basic understanding of rolling, texturing, shaping, and finishing metal clay. At the end of the day, students will go home wearing their custom creations. Please note: You will need to park offsite for this workshop; the parking lot is reserved on Sundays by the Demarest Baptist Church for services.
