Denae will lead a two-part class where attendees will learn how to make silver jewelry out of PMC, or precious metal clay. In Part 1 of this class, attendees will use simple tools such as a knife, roller, spatula, ruler, and texture stamps to learn the basics of creating, embellishing, drying, and sanding a pendant or earrings using PMC fine silver clay. Pieces created during this class will be fired at the end of the first day, and during part two of this class, students will return to learn the basics of adding patina, polishing, and tumbling to create .999% fine silver pieces with a beautiful finished look. These fine silver pieces can then be worked just as any other silver item by hammering, polishing, burnishing, tumbling, soldering, and enameling. Students will leave the second class with a finished fine silver creation.
