Stones and Bones Workshop

treat yourself to something fabulous

in this workshop you will be making a pendant, cuff links, or a brooch out of pewter with the option of incorporating natural stones, rhinestones and bones. you will first create your one design using stones and clay. we will then take that clay design and create a mold. finally we will cast your design into pewter. the pewter will be polished and the stones will be glued in place. the molding, casting and polishing process takes many days. we will be giving a demonstration so you can see firsthand how all these processes work. the piece will be ready for pickup within two weeks.

cost: 50 dollars

Valentine's Workshop... so fun

this past Sunday we held our first workshop. people made pendants, key chains, earrings and cuff links for themselves and their loved ones. Shannah gave a thorough demonstration on how the casting process works, from mold making to polishing. next, we reviewed the guidelines for making their design (1 design, 2 pewter castings and .5 ounces of clay), then our students got to work. everyone did a great job! it took some people a couple of tries to decide exactly what they wanted to make. that's the beauty of clay...you can squish it up and start again. everyone soon realized it was easy once they stopped thinking too hard and just started making and creating! the students truly had a great time and i was amazed with the innovation of their designs. be sure to check back in about a week for pictures of the finished products.
