Exploring Metal Clay
Upon completion of this course students will have a strong knowledge of how metal clay relates and reacts to other metals and nonmetals when combined or utilized in a multimedia project. Techniques covered include enameling on PMC, working with veneer solution, advanced stone setting, soldering and cold-connecting PMC, and abstract hollow-forms (vessels). No previous soldering experience required; basics will be demonstrated. This is a project specific class, allowing completely for personal design and self-challenge. Participants should have beginning PMC skills.
