Woven Silver Bead -- A project to learn process - I welcome you to my wonderful world of metal clay! You can really get a feeling about PMC by building my "infamous" woven bead using three silver clay forms in one piece. Though the weave tends to be applied flatly as a rule; it also works wonderfully as a component on a cylinder bead. After creating your armature; you will construct your bead in three sections, apply the weave you created, and embellish with the syringe. You will also craft grommets for the holes to add a more professional look. Firing, polishing and patina will complete the piece.
Besides having a wonderful silver bead you created yourself, you will have an amazing reference at your workspace to remind you of the processes you completed. Definitely a win win. This workshop is only for this bead at this time. Tool kits are available for use.
I have always believed that everyone has the capacity to do more than they are given credit for. No charms for you. That is easily done without my help.
Metal clay is one of the most exciting new developments in the world of jewelry making. Only on the market since the mid 90's, this new medium offers unique artistic opportunities. The new BronzClay™ and CopprClay™ are available with exciting possibilities. Both are available now in quick fire versions. There are pieces in my gallery. PMC Pro™ is available at a 900 assay amount of silver. It's super strong. Now there is 925 Sterling PMC! The advances are amazing. Wonderful product. You hallmark as sterling or 925.. Woo Hoo!!!!
