Joan Roberts has been creating distinct wearable art pieces with metal clay for 2 decades. She will share techniques, methods and a few secrets to successful creation of jewelry pieces. Silver Clay is a mixture of microscopic particles of silver, distilled water and a non-toxic organic binder. When fired the silver sinters into a solid piece of “fine silver.” Participants do not need past experience in metal work or other clays to be very successful.
This class is divided into two mornings so pieces can be finished and loaded into a kiln at the end of the first day and finished and polished on the second. Participants will be provided with enough clay to create up to two pairs of earrings or a pendant.

Joan enjoys the active and ongoing search for interesting materials and techniques that will keep each of her designs unique and one of a kind.

She provides individualized instruction in her studio throughout the year. Simply contact her to schedule your own private class.
Materials:
Fine Silver: Precious Metal Clay (PMC) combines microscopic particles of silver with water and a nontoxic, organic binder to create a material that can be worked as a clay. When objects are dried and fired in a kiln, the binder burns away and the silver particles fuse into solid metal of .999 pure silver. It is referred to as FINE SILVER.
Keum Boo: a process originating in Korea, used to apply thin sheets of 23.5K Gold to Fine Silver using heat and pressure.
22K Gold: applied in a slip form, dried, hand fired with a torch and polished.
Bronze Clay: 89% Copper & 11% tin. It is worked as a clay similar to PMC. Bronze is strong & will have a gold to copper color.
A Materials Fee of $70 will be paid to the instructor on the first day.
