Project Video - Creating Sketch Designs in Fine Silver Clay by Jennifer Dins
In this video, you'll learn how to create a coil (or what we like to call, snakes) in fine silver clay. Jennifer follows a heart sketch design with the coil. Anything you can draw you can make in silver! Jennifer then shows how to torch fire the metal clay. Art Clay Silver can be fired using a torch or a kiln.
Jennifer Dins has been making metal clay jewelry since 2009, after a potentially terminal cancer diagnosis in 2006 permanently sidelined her from a 25-year management career, she retired in 2009 and to follow her creative heart and to explore this new medium. Working this clay is easy on her sore hands and joints and allows her to feel a sense of accomplishment every time a piece is complete. The uniqueness of this material allows her to add personalized fingerprints, paw prints and even handwriting directly into the silver. She now believes it is her calling to help people manage a particularly difficult time through the creation of meaningful sterling silver heirloom pieces.
