September 4, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Explore jewelry making using Precious Metal Clay. PMC is clay made of metal particles, which allows you to sculpt and create pieces that become solid, fine silver when fired. Each student will be able to create a pair of small earrings and a charm or a bead. You will learn how to texture the clay, fire, patina, and polish. All skill levels and ages 14+ are welcome.
