Louise Duhamel

Student level: All levels

Students will create a beautiful fine silver pendant in metal clay using rubber stamps, molds, and natural materials for their texture and design. After firing the piece we will learn the ancient Asian art of Keum-Boo, which fuses 24-karat gold foil onto a portion of the metal clay piece. This will be highlighted and offset by using various patination techniques to create an array of colors ranging from golden to blues and purple. The finished pieces will be beautiful one-of-a-kind pendants of pure silver and 24 karat gold.
