In place of the cancelled 6 session course on Precioous Metal Clay, there are now 3 individual workshops covering different aspects of using PMC. All the workshops are open to complete beginners and are integral.....so students will go home with their finished pieces of jewellery at the end of the workshop. You can just do one or two of the workshops, or you can do all the workshops if you fancy. Here are the dates and some of the details - more details can be found on my website.
Saturday 29 May 2010: - Pendants & Earrings, Course Ref: BR626D3N
This workshop will teach the basics of using lump clay, such as applying texture, cutting and shaping. We will look at the different styles of bails to put on pendants, and cover the basics of making simple earrings.
Saturday 19 June 2010: - PMC & Fused Glass, Course Ref: BR625D3N
This workshop will teach the importance of tension with the clay to surround the glass, and will also look at using glass on top of the silver. You will be making two pendants which incorporate glass.
Saturday 26 June: - PMC & Nature, Course Ref: BR627D3N
This workshop will include the use of PMC paste, and you will be making interesting items inspired directly from nature, in addtion to a leaf pendant, using an actual leaf from the garden.
Times will be from 10am to 5pm, and the workshops take place at Rayleigh House in Bedford.
