David Hughes came to our camp class today to teach the students how to make jewelry using clay silver.
[clay slip painted on (real) leaves]
[they rolled out some clay silver and used stamps, texture plates and cutters to make charms and pendants]
[syringes and cork clay to create lacy beads]
[David used a blow torch to fire the pieces]
[liver of sulphur oxidzes the silver]
[when polished, the impressed or stamped areas remain dark and the surface is shiny silver]
wicked.
great week - thanks y'all!

Wicked cool for sure! How did the leaves and lacy beads turn out?
Those have to be kiln fired, so they'll be done next week. If I can get a picture, I'll post an update.
Is this the same as "precious metal clay -- PMC"?
Again...de tels étudiants chanceux pour vous avoir dans leurs vies!
Oui, just a different brand name. Merci!
