Description
Discover the art of combining two stunning media ? Art Clay Silver and Enamel. You?ll work with Art Clay Silver, a remarkable material made from reclaimed silver in fine particles suspended in an organic binder. Shape and texture it effortlessly, then watch as it transforms into a solid piece of fine silver when fired in a kiln. Once your silver pieces are ready, bring them to life with a burst of color using vibrant vitreous enamels. The combination of shimmering silver and brilliant enamel allows you to create truly one-of-a-kind jewelry. By the end of the class, you?ll have 2-4 beautiful pieces, such as earrings, pendants, or charms, that showcase your creativity and craftsmanship.
