About this class

Join Shelley Nordman LIVE Online October 21st at 10AM ET and discover how to turn open-backed bezels, UV resin, color-shifting pigments and even Silly Putty into mesmerizing wearable art!

Shelley will show you how to create tantalizing textures, dimensional forms, and shifting colors as you explore three wonderfully creative resin techniques.

First, learn how to work within an open-backed bezel to create opals so luminous they’ll make Mother Nature jealous! Then, discover the surprising possibilities of using Silly Putty as a mold to create an extraordinary color-shifting texture that takes “Dichroic Glass” to a whole new level. And if you’ve ever wanted to fill a bezel with a dimensional 3D collage, Shelley will show you how to do that, too.

These three techniques give you a foundation for experimenting, layering, and letting your own imagination take over. Whether you’re working with ready-made open-backed bezels or creating your own, you’ll come away with ideas you can use to create truly one-of-a-kind jewelry and wearable art.

And yes… after this class, you may never look at Silly Putty the same way again!
