About this class

Join master metal clay artist, Julia Rai, and learn how to create these unique summertime metal clay charms.

Metal clay is a great medium for making unique jewelry. In this class, metal clay expert Julia Rai will introduce complete beginners to the wonderful world of metal clay with over two hours of step-by-step instruction.

This class assumes no prior knowledge of metal clay, so the basics of storing, handling, rehydrating, and working with metal clay will be covered. Julia will also show you cheap and easy ways to work with metal clay without buying expensive tools.

The class will focus on making molds of small items – like shells and buttons – and then using metal clay to create unique charm-sized solid silver pieces.

You’ll also learn to set a simple fire-in-place faceted stone. You’ll find out how many molded pieces you can get from a 7g package of fine silver metal clay so you can try it out with a minimal cost. Make your own charms to hang on a bracelet or make wonderful earrings, small pendants, or beautiful gifts for friends and family.

BONUS: Learn how to add half-drilled pearls or beads to moulded elements.
