Metal Clay – Dragonfly Wings Earrings/$68.00/Lana Stamper
May 19, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Metal Clay was created in the early 1990’s in Japan for the purpose of using reclaimed silver. It consists of microscopic particles of silver suspended in an organic binder, making it similar to modeling clay. It can be molded, textured, and shaped using simple and inexpensive tools to create jewelry that would be attainable with traditional metal-smithing techniques. When heated by torch or kiln, the organic binder burns away and the metal particles sinter (fuse), forming solid metal that can be treated as you would traditional silver.
Come spend the afternoon at the Farmhouse exploring the unlimited potential of metal clay and create a pair of dragonfly wing earrings. This class will cover basic tools and techniques as you create your earrings. You will learn how to roll, texture, and cut the fine silver metal clay and then fire it. You will finish/polish the piece to bring out the shine. At the end of the class you will be wearing your earrings!
BEGINNERS and those wanting to refresh their skills are welcome. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
Maximum number of 8 participants.
All tool, supplies and clay will be provided.
