This 4-week metal clay class is for everyone from beginners with no jewelry making experience to advanced students!  You will work on a variety of projects and learn the techniques needed to complete them.  Small class size allows for plenty of individual attention and metal clay skill building.  Instruction will focus on all the basics of silver metal clay including the types of metal clays and their advantages, creative inspiration, texturing, firing and finishing. In addition to the basics you will advance to more advanced jewelry making skills like stone setting, bezels, torch soldering, bead making, carving, and many other skills as you continue to learn and grow as a jewelry artist!  (*Supply cost additional, **If you wish to work in Bronze or copper clay there is an additional $30 firing fee.)

This class is for students that already know basic stone setting in metal clay and wish to learn techniques for setting faceted and other stones where advanced skills are necessary.  First you will design and construct a one-of-a-kind, metal clay basket setting for a stone that is not heat safe and learn to set the stone.  You will also create a metal clay piece that holds a stone and learn to set it from the reverse side of the piece.  Time permitting there will be demonstrations on other stone setting applications.  (Supply cost additional or supply list available on request.)
