Unleash Your Inner Artist with Metal Clay Jewelry Classes

Join me for hands-on workshops in the Santa Cruz Mountains. From silver to bronze pendants and earrings, create one-of-a-kind pieces and master metal clay techniques.

Metal Clay is pure alchemy: soft, moldable clay made from tiny metal particles. Sculpt with it, carve, and press in textures to create your design. Then, it's fired in a kiln, where the clay transforms into solid, shimmering metal. What starts as clay becomes solid metal - a lasting piece of wearable art, forged by your imagination.

I teach at the Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center, in Ben Lomond, CA. It's approximately 10 miles from Santa Cruz.
