METAL CLAY I/II

INSTRUCTOR: ANNE ACKER

 

Students who have not worked with metal clay will make a couple of beginner projects before getting into some of the more complex pieces. Some of the projects we will be working on include spinner rings, roses, three-dimensional “lentil bead” pendants and earrings, filigree earrings. You may want to bring magnification, such as an Optivisor. Materials cost covers enough clay to make the four projects, molding compound to make several small molds, a consumables kit, and the use of the instructor’s tool kits.

Acker, Anne

From an early age Anne enjoyed creating handmade objects. In her early twenties she was thrilled to find a local artist who taught her the basics of silversmithing. It was fun, but when she discovered metal clay, she found the medium she enjoys working in the most. She is certified through Rio Grande, PMC Connection, and Art Clay. Anne lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and is very involved with the Jacksonville Gem and Mineral Society, where she is Education Chairperson and Past President, with AMCAW – the Alliance for Metal Clay Arts Worldwide, where she served on the Executive Board. She teaches silver metal clay classes several times a month at the Jacksonville Gem and Mineral Society. She also teaches at The Great Bead Escape Retreat in Live Oak, FL, and has presented at an international metal clay convention.
