This single day workshop will introduce you to bronze and copper metal clays. Many silver metal clay users have been enticed to give base metal clays a try with amazing results. While many of the techniques are very similar to the ones used in working with silver clay, there are some significant differences as well. The firing process is unique to base metals both in materials used and timing. You will learn how to adapt your silver clay techniques to bronze and copper, make slip, join pieces, texture clay, carve, make objects that include use of a mandrel, dry the clay, estimate shrinkage, finish and add colorful patinas and learn all sorts of tips and techniques. The class focus is on working with bronze, but you’ll also have the opportunity to incorporate copper with your bronze pieces if you like. Come with a willingness to experiment and enjoy the somewhat unpredictable results that come when using a new material! I will be teaching this class using Hadar Jacobson’s powdered metal clays so that you’ll have a new experience even if you have used base metal clays.

Room for two more people in this group!
