About this class

Join master metal clay artist, Corina Gheorghe, and learn how to make a gorgeous Roses and Gem embellished totem pendant from metal clay.

This course introduces techniques about drawing and modeling detailed little roses and leaves and a new way of setting stones, called the “v setting”. You will also learn how to incorporate these into a flowing and balanced design.

Corina says: “Doodle swirls, roses, and leaves; give flow and balance to your design. This step gives you a visual idea before starting to work with clay and helps you in observing your own style with time. Practice is the key!”

Corina will start with her tips for preparing the clay, showing you the best consistency and how to keep your clay and fingers hydrated.

Then see close-up how to create stunning leaves, buds, and open roses, connecting them all with swirling coils and adding a gem with a carved setting.

See how-to attach all the embellishments to create an eye flowing balanced piece. Sanding, firing and finishing will be covered to complete your show stopper pendant.

You’ll be inspired to start creating your own totem.
