One-of-a-Kind Textures for Metal Clay Jewelry

Create unique patterns, texture plates, and stamps for your metal clay designs; no more relying on the standard textures! Everyday tools help you make abstract and geometric designs, and easy to use software allows you to convert photos or clip art into textures. You’ll learn to make photopolymer stamps, etched brass texture plates, three types of texture sheets, hand-carved stamps, and more. Photographers and printmakers can use these techniques to enhance their jewelry designs or even to make cards and art! You’ll go home with a whole new library of patterns and textures, as well as two or more fine silver jewelry pieces created with your own designs. Materials fee includes all supplies, access to carving tools and shared supplies, and all required kiln firing.
