In this workshop, we will explore some of the basics of working with Silver Metal Clay. You will learn how to work with overlay paste to attach small pieces YOU make to a porcelain box or tray using a medium called Art Clay Silver.We will create the piece in class and after being fired at DinsDesigns studio for 2 hours in a kiln at 1300°, these clay adornments are 99% pure silver! We will polish your piece and deliver it back to TMA for pickup within a week
Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Jennifer Dins | Art Educator
I am from the Milwaukee, WI area and I moved to Madison, WI to earn my undergraduate degree in marketing. In 2000, I earned a master’s degree in management, training and organizational development. But besides a mother and wife, what I really am is a life-long artist who found myself in a non-creative career for over 25 years.
After a potentially terminal cancer diagnosis in 2006 permanently sidelined me from my 25 year management career, I decided to follow my creative heart and began to explore a new medium: metal clay. This medium is easy on my sore hands and joints and I feel a sense of accomplishment every time I complete a piece. The uniqueness of this material allows me to add fingerprints, paw prints and even handwriting directly into the silver. Most of my sales are to people who have lost someone and want to capture a piece of him or her within the silver of an heirloom piece. I now believe it’s my calling to help these people through a particularly difficult time.
