Defy the flat and angular…slump into your resting place and awake to find a beautiful bead to adorn your days. In this class, we’ll use wire armatures to create one-of-a-kind shapes and then texture silver clay to slump over our unique forms. Discussion and demonstrations will cover forming and finishing, along with tips and techniques for working successfully with 3-dimensional free-form shapes.(Note: due to the complexity of this project, the total class time needs to be devoted to bead formation; pieces will be fired in the evening, immediately after class, and available for pick up the following morning.)
Kit Fee of $20 payable to Instructor at class time includes: metal clay tools, copper wire, polishing papers
Supplies Provided by Instructor: additional metal clay tools, as necessary, armatures, texture stamps and plates, miscellaneous workshop supplies and consumables, firing and finishing supplies
