NEW! Nature's Jewelry Workshop
Let the subtle shapes, forms, and textures of nature inspire you.
Create either one large, or two small, handmade silver pendants. Custom fine jewelry artist, Karen Olson, guides you in how to work with Art Clay Silver, a product made of microscopic particles of fine silver suspended in an organic binder. At the conclusion of the class, Karen will fire your creations in a high temperature kiln which burns away the binder, leaving your pure silver creations. No experience necessary; tools and materials provided. A $45 materials fee will be due to the instructor at the start of class.
$50 Fee for members $55 Fee for non-members
Pre-registration required.
