Silver Precious Metal Clay
Led by Juli Cavnar
Friday 9:30am-2:30pm
Join this workshop to explore the beauty, fun and simplicity of precious metal clay jewelry making. Precious metal clay was created in Japan in the 1990s. It is a binder that manipulates like clay but contains molecular sized metal bits, allowing for dimensional and textural work not easily replicated with traditional metalworking. After creating the piece, it is kiln fired to burn off the binder and leave solid metal. In this workshop we will provide you with 25 grams of silver clay, which allows you to create a pair of earrings or a pendant. We will spend time exploring the material, designing and making the pieces, firing the clay over lunch break, and then return to polish and finish. No experience is necessary, just a readiness to experiment with design, shape and texture.
Juli Cavnar is a local jewelry designer and maker. Her work can be found at The Shops at 1345 and during various pop up events throughout Palm Springs.
Please note: This class has an additional $75 supply fee for 25 grams of silver clay, payable to Juli Cavnar on the day of the workshop. Please bring a check or be prepared to Venmo her at the start of class.
