Image Transfer On PMC
Saturday October 23rd - 10:00am-4:00pm
Learn basics of PMC silver and how to create simple pendants or bracelet plaques to which images will be applied. After firing and finishing your pieces, a special transfer solution and paper allow you to transfer color or black and white laser images and photos to the surface of the metal. Images will be provided. As a bonus, you will learn how to use the same solution to mix your own metal and glass paints with powdered pigments. The color is permanent and looks like glass enamel. The finished pieces are durable and have a timeless, soft, ethereal look. This is a project workshop, with finished pieces ready to attach to chain
Electro Etching on Silver, Copper and Brass
Sunday October 24th - 10:00am-4:00pm
In this workshop you'll be introduced to new methods and technology developed for electro-etching on various metals. Learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about etching including methods for etching on copper, brass, fine silver and sterling--even bronze and silver metal clay! This is of particular interest for those who have always wanted to etch but have avoided it in the past due to the hazardous chemicals that are tradiionally used, particularly with silver. Each student will get the chance to etch a piece of metal (including silver) that can then be used to make jewelry or as a relief plate to texture metal clay.
A variety of resist methods will be demonstrated including simple ways to transfer toner to metal, UV Film and special paints that work very well for the purpose of applying original designs to the metal. As a bonus the class will include how to punch holes and rivet using a brand new tool and rivet heads.
