Sunday, August 24, 2025, 10:00 am - 12:00 noon (Please choose just one Sunday workshop. They're held simultaneously!)
This Technique Discovery Workshop covers sculpting, moulding and cutting wood clay to create a former. Explore different ways of covering formers with silver clay. I will demo a wrap method and a syringe method or a combination of the two. Then we will look at firing the hollow forms and talk about two stage firing for some pieces. I will also have various different examples to talk people through.
This workshop is part of the Metal Clay Artists Symposium and requires purchase of the General Registration.
