In this one day workshop, students will create jewelry components from PMC + Silver Clay. Class will take a long lunch break at noon so that Carol can fire the pieces in the PMC kiln at KAC. Students will have time for lunch or shopping Park City’s famous main street shops, or in the surrounding Bonanza Park area. Everyone will reconvene at 3:00 p.m. and work for two hours to finish the fired clay pieces and create at least one piece of jewelry, say a pendant, charms for a bracelet, or earrings.

Tree of Life Pendant Workshop
Join in on the craze! Make your own Tree of Life stone pendant, a marvelous wire tree, with wire “roots and branches” winding around a natural, oval-shaped stone cabochon. Instructor Carol Avery provides a variety of stone cabochons and your choice of silver plated, bronze, copper, or colored wire. It’s a bit challenging to manage multiple strands of wire, so it’s strongly advised students have basic wire-working skills. Basic jewelry pliers and cutters will be available to use or bring your own. Prepare to be amazed at your own creation!
