Metal Clay Classes
|
|
Classes are personally instructed by
Judi Anderson, Certified PMC
and Art Clay Instructor.
Judi Anderson, formerly Rio Grande’s resident Precious Metal Clay and
kiln tech guru, has been a nationally recognized name in the metal clay
community for over 9 years. Privileged to have been one of PMC’s
pioneers - developing new techniques for safely kiln and torch firing
natural gem stones and exploring the compatibility of other
revolutionary material’s such as the new non-tarnishing sterling silver
alloy Argentium, Judi is always striving to advance the art of metal
clay. Her own work is highly influenced by the beauty of her adopted
home land, New Mexico, and references to the otherworldly landscapes of
the southwest and ancient Anaszi civilization are easily recognizable in
her designs. An instructor who’s worked with this ground breaking medium
since 1997, Judi is certified through Rio Rewards; PMC Connection and
Art Clay Silver and students describe her classes as informative,
challenging and most importantly fun!

Three types of classes are offered,
Beginner,
Intermediate, and
Advanced.
Each of the classes vary in content,
depending on the the techniques
and level at
which she will be teaching.
Beginner classes will introduce the novice metal clay artist to a variety of
materials, and techniques.
This class does not require any previous metal clay
experience.
The intermediate level classes will build upon the techniques and
abilities learned in the basic classes.
In order to take this class you
need to be familiar with the basic techniques of working with metal clays.
Whereas, the advanced classes will expound upon the individuals imagination using all
prior techniques, abilities
and insight from past classes, and leap into
roads less traveled. The limits for these classes are only in the minds
of
the artists.
