Metalwork

---

 
Description: Make your very own version of this amazing necklace in this full day of creating with metal. Start out by choosing your textures and creating your PMC links for firing. While waiting for the firing to complete, we will prepare our fine-silver rings for assembly and fusing. We can take those fusing techniques to a higher level, learning how to implement more complex patterns into the final design. The last part of the day will be an exploration of texturing, patina, and polishing techniques. At the end of this class, you can walk out wearing your creation.
