Like a lotus, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and illuminate the world! Create your own lucky lotus pendant as you learn to texture, form, and manipulate your silver clay for a 3D effect. Secure and set a dichroic glass cabochon, create a bail, and make fine detailed embellishments. Along the way, you'll also learn many other tips and tricks for working with metal clay. Your piece will be ready for polishing the following day. (The instructor can arrange to ship it home to you if needed.)
Apron, basic metal clay tool kit which includes: Roller, nonstick work surface, needle tool or awl, playing cards or depth measuring slats, glazed ceramic tile, craft knife, water mister, release agent (cool slip, olive oil), sanding papers. If you cannot bring the tools above, the instructor can lend you a tool kit to use during class. Optional: Task lamp and magnifying glasses or reading glasses if necessary.
