About this class

Time to go organic with metal clay!

Join metal clay master artist, Julia Rai, and learn how to make a variety of metal clay settings for fire-in-place stones. These settings can be kept in the dry stage for use whenever you need a little bit of sparkle added to something. You’ll learn to make settings using syringe clay, metal clay tubes and discs, leaf and flower-shaped settings and much more.

Julia will start with the basics of stone setting in metal clay, how to use the shrinkage during firing to your advantage and how to ensure your stone stays put. She’ll show you how to create asymmetric, organic forms into settings for stones of all shapes and sizes, giving you a whole range of new ideas. These are especially useful if you like to produce three-dimensional work that isn’t neat and uniform. Like things to be organic and unique? This class is for you!
