SUMMER SCHOOL 26th July-31st July 2010

'Bronze Clay' with Xuella Arnold.

Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th Bronze clay is a new material developed in America, and has similar properties to silver clay, with bronze particles in a binder which can be used like clay, but when fired forms into solid bronze. On the course we will make a variety of small sculptures, objects and jewellery, exploring the possibilities of the material, including moulding, texturing, carving the clay as well as its firing times and finishing. This is a revolutionary way of working in metal and changes the traditional methods of lost wax casting.

XUELLA ARNOLD has a BA in 3D design and has been designing and making silver and gold jewellery for 20 years, and working with PMC for 6 years. She tutors at various places and has written a book on PMC for Search Press as well as having a piece of PMC work exhibited at the first British Silver Week. She sells her work at a number of craft events such as Desire, Womad and St Donats. Her PMC work is influenced by lyrics and poetry, to create fairy tale images. 'www.xuella.co.uk'
