Metal Clay. Metal clay is made of pure 999 fine silver with an organic binder and has
a clay like consistency until it is fired in a kiln or torch fired. When done each piece is

shapes can be created. Molds can be made and carving can be done. Check out

CLASSES
We hold classes during the winter in the Virgin Islands. The beginning
classes are 4 hours long and give a basic understanding of making
jewelry with Metal Clay. I also teach intermediate students new
techniques. Every class is a new experience in creation!
Each student learns to fabricate a pure silver piece from the beginning
to the end. They also learn various tricks and hints in working with the
silver clay.
I also will be holding open studios for those to come in and work and fire
their pieces.
Please contact me for details and class times
I will be teaching classes in the new copper clay you can fire with a torch!
Next class is in October. Please contact me for details.
