Metal Clay: A Radical New Way of Working with Precious Metals
July 23, 2014 7 PM to 8:30 PM
What would silversmith Paul Revere think of this? Make simple pure silver jewelry on your kitchen table with a unique new product. Metal clay combines microfine particles of pure silver that are mixed with a binder and water to form a clay-like material. After forming the pieces they are dried and fired in a simple kiln or with a handheld torch to burn away the binder leaving hardened metal. Bevlynn Gallant, metal clay jeweler and teacher, will show you how this material is used and how it differs from the traditional methods of working with silver to make jewelry. This talk is presented in conjunction with “Inspired Objects: Metalworking through the Ages,” a show and sale of metal clay artwork crafted by members of the Metal Clay Artisans Guild in Connecticut, on view until August 8th. COST: $6 adults, $5 seniors and students, $4 Society and MAGiC members. For more information, contact the Society at 860-688-3813 or www.metalclayguildct.org
