Mini Mixed Media Medallions

Class Description:
In this half-day class, we'll use clay, beads, metal findings, and more to make mini medallions that can be used as pendants on a statement necklace, as ornaments for a book cover, or as part of a larger mixed media piece. We'll make at least one medallion in class and I'll share different techniques for customizing your supplies to make them your own as we assemble our mini masterpieces.

Students Should Bring:

Craft mat, baby wipes, paper towels, and scissors
Metal findings, beads, chains, crystals... anything you think you'd like to use in your medallion. (Note that if you have strung seed and / or bugle beads, this will be helpful.)
Something to use as a focal point for your medalllion(s) - an image, stones, etc...
Strong glue (Helmar Quick Dry, Lock-Tight, E-6000)

Optional:

Colored pencils
Paints or mediums to add a patina effect to your metal
Clay tools
Stickles, Liquid Pearls, glitter, etc...
Polymer medium
Wire cutters

Teacher will provide:

Aves Apoxie Clay
Bases for your medallions
Some beads, findings, and other goodies to share
