About
Continue building your basic metal clay skills by making one or two fine-silver clay rings. You’ll learn how to individualize your rings with additional stone-setting techniques, and embellish the surface in several ways, such as using granules (small silver balls) and Keum-boo (gold foil). Keum-boo is an ancient Korean gilding technique.
You’ll also learn how to make molds for adding textures and shapes to your pieces.
Materials
A $115 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers enough material to complete one or two rings.
