I have had a lovely couple of days teaching an introduction to art clay silver to an enthusiastic student. Margaret has produced some beautiful work. The top leaf shaped piece is her first and is oxidised. For her second project she chose to make these beautiful earrings which she then enhanced using the keum boo technique of applying gold to the surface of the silver. The third piece is based on the pendant by Alcina Nolley in the new Metalclay Artist Magazine. My magazine had just arrived and we were flicking through it during our tea break and both loved the look of this project which is the perfect addition to the selection of ideas I have available to my new students, so thank you to Alcine and to Metalclay Artist Magazine. I can see it will be a very useful tool on my workbench.
