All-Day Workshop

Date: Saturday, March 14

Time: 10am-5pm

Description: This workshop will bump charm-making up a notch via layers, borders, 3D elements, and a heavy dose of fun and inspiration. Students will be able to play the day away with the instructor’s cache of tiny molds and teeny clay cutters, as well as extruders, templates, paper punches, and other fun tools. Best of all, the instructor will share some of her signature techniques for creating texture and imagery with a layered look on metal clay. Depending on individual pace, students can expect to complete 4-5, or more, small charms from start to finish. Additional pieces may be left for the instructor to fire after the workshop.

Tuition: $105 + $55 materials fee

Materials: All materials will be provided
