The garden has always been a source of inspiration to artists.  In this workshop, we will transform botanical elements into fine silver, then work with them to create earrings, a complex pendant, and other pieces as time allows.

Please bring leaves that have pronounced texture on their back side as well as dry pods and twigs.  The scale should be small to speed up the process.  I will also have leaves from my garden available for class use.

You'll need at least 20 grams of Art Clay Silver Slow Dry clay, 20 grams of Art Clay Silver paste, and Art Clay Silver syringe type.  I'll have Art Clay Silver products on hand for sale at 20% off retail.  (I do honor Art Clay Silver certification level pricing.)

I'll also have 20-gauge fine silver wire, 1/2 drilled pearls, cubic zirconia, etc., on hand for sale, or you may bring your own. 

Please bring wire-working tools if you have them, an apron, magnifying lenses, pen and paper.
