Build a Statement Bead With Metal Clay
Adult Intensive | Available
Forming hollow objects with dry metal clay shapes is surprisingly easy. In this class, you'll make one to three statement focal beads using fine silver metal clay. The textures you choose and the final details you incorporate will make your one-of-a-kind bead(s) a showstopper!
- Form and dry finish on Saturday and come back to polish and patina on Sunday.
- Students may have to opportunity to buy finishing materials in class (e.g., earring findings, ribbon for pendant 'chains', etc.).
Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
