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 the last week Feb 2010
