Vacation Week Metal Clay Mini Classes

Try one of our Metal Clay Mini Classes this vacation week! 

Join us this Vacation week and begin to explore the unlimited potential of Precious Metal Clay during this 3 hour basic introduction to Silver Metal Clay. Create a unique, one of a kind, pendant and/or earring set. This program is designed to give you hands on experience in basic techniques for working with metal clay.

You will learn what metal clay is, the different forms it comes in and how to best care for, work with and store it. An basic overview of tools and equipment will be provided. You will be shown best practices for working with the clay, including rolling, texturing, cutting, shaping, layering, stamping and drilling. Once you create your unique pieces, you will be shown how to sand and refine them. When class ends you will have a piece ready to fire in our kiln and be picked up in later in the week.
