Price of workshop is $175. Precious metal clay is additional and can be purchased at Mud Matters — $55 for a 15g packet. Precious metal clay, or silver clay, is made of pure silver mixed with water and an organic binding agent. You can mold it into an endless number of shapes and designs. When fired, the binding agent burns off, resulting in original fine silver jewelry — 99.9% pure. Learn the basics of how to work with silver clay. This 4 hour session covers rolling, stamping, and other methods of creating texture and all the finishing techniques you will need. Pieces will be fired during the workshop, so you can wear your creation home that day. Precious metal clay will be purchased separately.
