Dry fine silver clay, either "leather hard" or "bone dry" provides a wonderful carving material. This class combines proper sizing, thickness, firing and design concepts for rings with carving techniques for a uniquely textured work.
Project: The student will carve the ring band in a personalized design. Use of a fine silver bezel cup and a gemstone is optional.
Techniques:
- Allow for the PMC shrinkage and create a ring so that it fits your finger.
- Use a ring mandrel and to construct a ring with a joint which is strong yet invisible.
- Design a texture.
- Outline the texture on the dry clay surface.
- Select and use carving tools to remove dry clay.
Materials: PMC3 Clay, Paste and Syringe are required. Bezel cups and small stones are optional. Materials may be purchased at the time of the class.
Note: The instructor will supply carving tools for use by students in the class. Tools for use at home may be ordered from the instructor.
The fee for a one day class at Bead Boutique is $95.
Basic supplies for the class are available for purchase from the instructors at the time of the class.
