Introduction to Bronze Metal Art Clay

Learn to craft your own stunning bronze jewelry using bronze metal art clay. This two-session workshop is an ideal introduction to metal clay and jewelry making, guiding students through the complete process from shaping to finishing. Returning students are welcome and may work on more advanced or complex projects.

Day 1: Students will learn how to form, texture, and refine their pieces, create an integrated bail, and prepare their bronze metal clay for firing. Projects typically include earrings (or charms) and a pendant.

Day 2: Students will learn how to finish their fired bronze pieces, apply patinas, and do basic wire wrapping to add beads and attach earring wires. Each student will leave with their own beautifully finished bronze jewelry. Most students can make more than one pair of earrings and a pendant, depending on size and complexity.

Note for Returning Students: Can’t make both days? Join us for Day 1 only to design and form your pieces. The instructor will handle firing and finishing for later pickup. (Available only to those who have previously taken the class or camp)
