Metal Clay CharmsJuly 21, 10:00am - 1:00pmMetal Clay Class By Cathi MilliganClass Fee: $75.00Kit Fee: $75.00
Skill Level: All
This is pure entry level metal clay. Get to know the material. You’ll imprint the surface, maybe even both sides, cut out a shape, fix up a hole and…once it’s dry, you’ll refine the edges and surface before firing it with a torch. The finished charms will be pure solid silver ready for polishing or patina or both. You can add ear wires for earrings or jump rings to hang them as charms. This is the gateway drug to metal clay. Find out its possibilities.
