Create beautiful leaves using pure silver to replicate nature’s own designs. These “one of a kind” creations make a great gift. This is a fun way to use the extra slip that accumulates as one works with the metal clays. Project ideas will be presented. Bring your ideas and the instructor will
assist you with your project. If you have never used the metal clays and don’t have silver paste, don’t worry a kit will be available for purchase. Basic wirework and jewelry assemblage will be covered.
Homework: Bring to class some leaves that you like. Leaves with deep veins work best, not too furry, and no succulents.
Day One: The leaves will be prepared. Finishing options will be presented, and you will design and plan your project.
Day two: We will assemble the leaves into a fabulous piece of jewelry, or whatever you have designed.
Supplies:
*Sterling silver or *Copper wire in gauges appropriate for your intended piece.
*Jump Rings (Or) make your own in class
*Beads
Sterling chain (Or) make your own in class.
*Clasp (Or) make your own in class
Tool Kit Items to bring:
*Chain nose pliers
*Round nose pliers (a small pair and a pair large pair if you have them)
*Flat nose pliers
*Flush cutters
*Ruler
