One Day
Textures!!!
No previous experience required

This workshop is the most fun you can have in a day!
A number of texture techniques will be explored.

Metalclay is at its best when used with textures and although there are many commercial textures available, there comes a time when most people will want to use their own individual designs.

We'll make:

• A number of simple rubber moulds that can be used for many years.
• PPP - Photopolymer plate to the student's own design or use one of my designs
• Simple carving techniques for quick results
• Fun texture ideas that are easy to make but lovely to use with PMC
  
  

  Cost for the day is $130.00 plus materials.
  Please book early as seats are very limited for this class.

One Day
Silver Jewellery Basics
(Metalwork)
No previous experience required

One full day every month we will be having a metalwork class. We will follow the same outline as the 8 week evening classes use.

This is your opportunity to learn all the basic fabrication skills in a series of one day classes.

This month you'll learn all the basics of silver jewellery: Sawing, piercing, filing, sanding & polishing silver.

These will be used to make a pair of Pierced Earrings, or a pendant, your choice!
These pieces can usually be finished in one day so bring a chain to wear your pendant home!

There will be some tools to share in the studio, but if you own any metalworking tools, please bring them along.
Materials will be available for sale on the day.

Cost for the day is $130.00 plus materials.
