LLCFT 241 - Bronze Clay Jewelry: An Introduction

Bronze evokes images of antiquity -- when artisans formed magnificent jewelry thousands of years ago. A modern version, bronze metal clay, can be formed like ceramic clay. It is then fired in a small kiln to create durable jewelry. In the first session of this introductory class, you'll become familiar with working with bronze metal clay. It can be stamped, pressed into silicon molds, or impressed with natural or household objects to create unique patterns and designs. With the metal clay provided, you can make one or more pendants, earrings, and/or several bracelet charms. Learn finishing techniques in the second session and craft your bronze elements into wearable creations.
