Create Silver Jewelry with Metal Clay May 11, 2012

Join Instructor Iliana Carrillo and create beautiful silver jewelry using Art Clay. Art Clay is a material consisting of silver particles in a non-toxic binder and water. It looks, feels and acts just like clay, but when heated, the binder and water burn away leaving 99% pure silver! This process can be done on a large scale using a kiln, or in your kitchen using an inexpensive hand-held torch. Anything is possible!

No previous art experience or skills are required to attend this class, and beginners will be amazed at their success. Those who have worked with Precious Metal Clay before will be challenged with more difficult pieces. You will complete original pieces of jewelry, and learn to set up a “kitchen table” studio to continue working with Art Clay.

Iliana Carrillo is an Art Clay certified Senior instructor by Art Clay World USA and a Certified Artisan by the PMC National Guild. Learn more by visiting her www.ilianacarrillo.com.
