Silver Metal Clay Class

Tonight I had my silver metal clay class. The class is 2 days a week for 4 weeks. For the first class we started on a hollow bead and I finished mine at home. I made a puffy square. I attached a picture of the first hollow bead I made, a small ball, in a previous class.


Tonight in class we started on a dry construction bead. For the hollow bead we used a mold. We picked a shape and after rolling the clay out flat, filled the mold twice to make both sides. Once the clay was dry, we put the 2 sides neatly together. For a dry construction bead, you decide on shape and size, roll the clay flat and thin, cut out the shape and put it together once the clay is dry. Unfortunately my slabs did not dry flat. Now I have to moisten them and put a book on top to flatten and then continue with my construction. Hopefully I will be able to finish tomorrow so I can bring it back to class on Thursday.
