Learn how to create a locket or secret amulet box with a hinge that swivels to reveal a surprise inside. Using dry construction techniques, we’ll form the sides, top and bottom of the locket and construct the final piece after the metal clay has been fired. You’ll then learn to create the locking mechanism and finish your completed piece.

  • Materials will be available for purchase in class at a discounted cost; plan to spend approximately $45 on material.
  • A lunch break will be provided.
  • Students are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch.
  • Please note that for weekend workshops occurring on both Saturday and Sunday: Saturday classes run from 10 AM - 4 PM, Sunday classes run from 1 - 4 PM.
Hart, Lora

With a life-long passion of artistic expression in all its forms, Lora discovered metal clay in 2000 and fell in love with the endless possibilities of the medium. Teaching since 2003, first in Los Angeles, and then in Richmond since 2012, Lora has enjoyed a well-rounded metal clay education and has been driven to share all she knows with other makers. Her work has been printed in calendars; magazines; and books, and she has shared her passion for making via many recorded online Craftcast.com workshops, free YouTube video shorts, and through her own accounts on Instagram and Facebook. Lora has taught all around the United States and offers 'Classes On Demand' in her cozy studiolo in Richmond, Virginia. Lora says "Anything you'd like to learn from beginner through advanced techniques I'm happy to help you master." www.lorahart.com Instagram: @lorahartjewels
