Copper Clay Creations

Learn how to use metal clay to create a flower pendant and earrings from pure copper. This is a flexible medium that can be rolled, stamped, cut and manipulated like traditional clay. Finished pieces are kiln or torch-fired to become almost pure copper. Copper employs the same techniques as silver metal clay but is a less expensive alternative. Learn basic metal clay techniques including how to work with the clay, sand it, and add texture. Class fee includes 25g of Art Clay Copper, firing, findings, and use of tools. Items will be fired by the instructor after class and made available for pick up at the District Program Center in Cottage Grove one week after the class date. No discounts.
