What is metal clay?
Metal clay is a mouldable clay that can be folded, textured, rolled, cut, etc., like any normal clay, but it has a very high content of metal particles, either base metal or precious metal. When you have finished your design, it is left to dry.
When it is totally dry, it is then kiln-fired for a couple of hours or in the case of 960 and 999 clay, it is either kiln-fired or torch-fired. If torch-fired, you will have a solid piece of precious metal in under 10 minutes.
During the class, you will learn two techniques: using a mould and using textures. You'll get to be thinking about design, shape, and texture. Merren will have lots to choose from but have a look around your house and in the garden. We can use a leaf as a design and texture.
Bring anything you find with you on the day, and we can have a discussion about how they can be used. We are working with clay so basically anything is possible!
By the end, your class includes polishing and finishing so you can wear your design home!
Note: Allow the class to go on 3+ hours.
