Learn to make your own bespoke silver beads from metal clay in this intensive class.
This is an intermediate level metal clay class where you will learn to make a range of different beads and hollow forms. It is aimed at those with some previous experience in PMC or Art Clay and is highly recommended to anyone looking to combine metal clay with beading as there is often a very limited choice of silver beads in the bead shops and making your own is much more fun and creative.
Techniques covered in this class include:
- Making lentil beads
- Triangle wrap beads with basic stone settings
- How to use syringe and cork clay to create beads
- Pandora-style beads
...and much more!
This is a great follow on from our Beginners Metal Clay class and will help you with your jewellery designing and creation. Book early to avoid disappointment.
