Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg’s Class: “Filigree/Foliage Fusion”
The simplicity of leaves and classic beauty of turn of the century style filigree come together in this beautiful piece that can be made into a pin or pendant. Students will learn to create a subtle gradient blend with polymer clay, turn it into two different leave canes, and then build a pendant using neo-classic filigree pieces from Kabela Design and finish the piece off with a Swarovski crystal. Lynne Ann will cover cane design and construction, slicing evenly, the best way to create a metal and clay fusion piece using special adhesive material, finishing without sanding (as it is nearly impossible to sand a dimensional piece), and crystal to clay fusion. This class will also concentrate on choosing the correct adhesives to make a quality piece of jewelry that will not fall apart.
