In this one-day workshop I will introduce a brand new mokume gane technique. We will stack thin layers of different colors of “metallic” Premo clay to form a block which we will stamp with impression stamps that we will make ourselves. The block will be sliced with a special slicer to produce gorgeous, silk-like, paper-thin sheets of patterned clay which drape like fabric and can be used to cover or embellish objects such as beads, pendants, and decorative items. In class you will have the option of making a leaf brooch or a pendant. The item will be fired, then lightly sanded and hand buffed to accentuate the pattern. If time permits, you will have the option of machine-buffing your creation to a brilliant, glass-like shine. As an added bonus, you will return home with additional patterned sheets to experiment with on your own.
