25-26 April 2016 - Art Clay and Glass Riveting - Erna Piechna
Art Clay and Glass Riveting - a Sleek Solution with Erna Piechna - Switzerland
25-26 April 2016 (Mon-Tues)
In the first part of this class you will discover how an ordinary piece of glass can be transformed into a sophisticated jewellery element by using high firing enamels, pencils, stamps etc.
In the next stage you will design and make an Art Clay component to compliment the glass element, creating a dialogue between the two materials.
The challenging part will be to develop a way to join the glass and Art Clay into a wearable piece of jewellery. You will learn how to drill holes in the glass and how to combine it with the Art Clay part using a fine rivet. The rivet not only allows you to join ‘foreign’ materials, but it can also be a relevant element in your jewellery design.
