Happy Easter Everyone

Copper Necklace Class

Yesterday I had a group of creative students and I just had to share their creations with you.

They made these beautiful necklaces at the Buchanan Art Center  in one of my classes using 24 ga sheet copper.  The learned how to cut, smooth, refine and create different images on the copper prior to it being etched in a ferric chloride solution.

Once the pieces were etched they applied a patina, polished their pieces and assembled them into necklaces.

We had a great time and they all wore their new creations home.

 Just had to share the cool pieces they made.

I have a etched copper cuff bracelet class coming up at the Buchanan Art Center on May 6th that still has openings.
