Finger Print, Hand and Foot Print Jewellery Private Class
Details
This one day private class will cover making finger print jewellery using a direct imprint method plus hand and foot print jewellery using inkless wipes and photopolymer plates. It is an intermediate level metal clay class and assumes you know how to work with silver metal clay.
Inkless wipes are a clean and easy way to get hand and foot prints from babies and children which are then scanned into a computer, reduced in size and printed for use with photopolymer plates. Photopolymer plates allow you to take black and white images and create unique texture plates for your metal clay pieces. The class will cover working with inkless wipes, scanning, reducing, enhancing and printing images, photopolymer plate production and use with silver metal clay. It will also cover taking a direct finger imprint into silver clay, engraving names and words onto the clay, finishing, firing and polishing the finished jewellery.
The class includes all materials but bring along a child's drawing if you'd like to use this as an example.
The Cornwall School of Art, Craft and Jewellery was founded by two UK craft and jewellery artists, Julia Rai and Marion Wilson. Their vision is for this centre to bring together the very best teachers in the fields of art, craft and jewellery, in an inspiring creative environment.
Based at Coldrenick Farm in Bodmin, the School provides students of all levels with a safe and supportive learning environment. From short taster classes through to longer intensive courses, the School caters for a wide range of art, craft and jewellery making subjects.
The School is in a converted barn on a working sheep farm. The farm dates back to the 1800's and has been in the current owner's family since that time. The courtyard outside has a number of granite standing stones reclaimed from a Dutch barn which used to stand on the site. The location is rural and quiet, completely conducive to a relaxed and creative break from everyday life.
