First off - if you've never used metal clay to make jewelry, I need to ask you - WHY? It's fun, the learning curve is short, the tools are affordable, and the payoff is fantastical! If you've made a few simple pendants and earring drops, but want a full education in molding, forming, ring sizing, and more - you're a great candidate for this workshop too. Jump in! With both feet. Although you'd probably find it easier to use your hands.
Sign up for Metal Clay Immersion and I'll teach you all the tricks and skills you need to know! At least the ones that will give you a great basic toolbox of techniques and experience with projects that will form a jumping off place for more intricate projects. Take a look for a complete description of this 3 day workshop.

Make Your Mark is a workshop that focuses on surface decoration, enabling you to make a wide variety of unique textures with designs and motifs that match your personal aesthetics. Create re useable texture plates, and learn direct-to-clay treatments that will enhance and enrich your metal clay practice. Scroll down the page for the details, dates, and to see a sample of the multi panel bracelet you'll create with your new skills. This is a class for everyone, although it will be a little easier if you have some previous experience.

Are you an Instagram or Etsy fan girl? Have you explored and discovered cabochon sellers whose work you're dying to use in a metal clay design? OMG, I've bought some AMAZING cabs from those dealers. If you have too, or if you've found other tantalizing treasures you'd love to learn to bezel set on metal clay backings, then Custom Cab Settings For Metal Clay is the workshop for you! If it's got a flat back, you can set it. Learn two different ways to make perfect settings for your stones or found objects. One using metal clay only, the other forming and fusing commercial bezel wire to set in a second firing.

I'm so excited about this last workshop of the year! I've been working on it for a long time and am now ready to help you discover your inner artist, use your unique voice, and shine a light on all the creativity and inspiration that's been lurking in the background of your mind since you first put crayon to construction paper! Crafting Your Artistic Voice uses a variety of entertaining activities, exploration, and discussion to allow you to re-aquaint yourself with, or completely reinvent the muse that makes your work magical! It may be the last on the list, but it comes first in my heart.
Manifest Your Destiny and join us in The Studiolo in 2018, Bring a friend and I'll buy lunch! xo
