Join Kettle Creek Pottery in their 1800’s Church Studio for an amazing afternoon learning about Precious Metal Clay with Hamburg, PA jewelry artist, Brenda Scholl.
All Levels welcome, Beginner thru Advanced.
In this Precious Metal Clay workshop, participants will create a pair of earrings and a pendant from precious metal Clay. Artist, Brenda School will show you how to decorate and form your clay and will have examples of her own jewelry displayed so that everyone is able to see a variety of texture/design stamps available to design with. Next you will learn how to roll out your silver clay and stamp and design it. Brenda will use a torch to fire your pieces right in front of you, on site!
Brenda will teach you how to oxidize the design on your pieces and shine them up! You get to take home your new .999 Fine silver jewelry! Each participant will make and take home a pair of earrings and a pendant handmade by you. The workshop is approximately 3 hours long with a few intermissions. We encourage bringing a snack/packed lunch and water bottles.
WHAT IS PMC?
Metal clay first came out in Japan in 1990 to allow craft jewelry makers to make sophisticated looking jewelry without the years of study needed to make fine jewelry.
Silver metal clay
Fine silver metal clay results in objects containing 99.9% pure silver, which is suitable for enameling. Lump metal clay is sold in sealed packets to keep it moist and workable.
