Beginner Classes
Pendants Made with Photopolymer Plates
Learn to create photopolymer plates using the examples provided. Once you have the basics, you can move on to using your own art work, knowing that what you make is completely unique.
Linked Bracelets
You will design and make a beautiful fine silver bracelet using rubber texture sheets. The only limit is your imagination!
Leaf Pendant
Silver metal clay paste will be pasted onto natural leaves and then fired. Once fired, students will learn both brushed and high polish techniques for finishing the fired piece. The leaves can then be made into earrings or pendant. Cord (or ear wires) will be provided, so the student can leave with a finished piece of jewelry.
Intermediate Classes
What A Coil Bracelets
You thought you wanted a challenge? Here it is! Try your hand at creating a supple metal clay coil bracelet. Please bring one of your beautiful focal beads to add to the design.
Toggle Clasps
Students will learn to make both rolled coil toggles and stamped and cut toggles. Hand-made toggles provide the perfect finishing touch for those of you who make your own jewelry. Intermediate but beginners are also invited.
Dichroic Glass Hearts
Learn to make coils and surround dichroic glass to form a free-form heart. Students will learn the characteristics of design needed to hold the glass in place, how to fire and finish it.
European 4-in-1 Bracelet
Chain maille bracelet done in sterling silver. It is a variation of the European four in one pattern called Rosettes. It puts a whole new slant on the four in one. Very light, airy, feminine and flirtatious. Measures 7 1/2.
