Metal Clay Basics and Enameling

Posted in: Broken Branches, Jewelry

We had a wonderful class weekend before last (June 28th and 29th) at Warg Etc in Scarborough, ME. This was the first 2-day metal clay class with Pauline Warg. On Saturday I taught Metal Clay Basics and on Sunday, I was a student in Pauline’s class, Metal Clay Enameling. It was a great class. I had a hard time at first getting the colors to work with me….but that’s because I was reading the chart backwards…..I was looking at how the colors appeared on copper not silver. In the end I loved my butterfly and koi fish. I did not experiment with any of the opaque colors since I had a lot of texture I wanted to see through the colors. I really enjoyed working with the translucent colors. It took a while, but the best results were when I layered the colors.

Here are some pictures from the class:
