Introduction to Precious Metal Clays: Bronze Clay
With Alfredo Ratinoff
2 Thursdays, May 13 & 20, 2010; 6:30 - 9:30pm
Fee: $ 95.00 non-members, $ 85.00 LAC members
=3D20
Bronze has been used since ancient times in all different cultures to
create everyday objects as well as fine artwork; this wonderful and
almost ever lasting material was discovered thousands of years ago and
used in almost every culture since early times to present day. Artists
and sculptors used bronze because of it's timeless beauty, but it often
required a complicated process to fabricate a finished piece. Recently
a new material called 'Bronze clay' was introduced to the market; it
consists of fine bronze particles held together with an organic binder
and after firing in a kiln becomes solid bronze. =3D20
=3D20
Learn about this new material as Alfredo Ratinoff discusses the
technical aspects of bronze clay; how to work with it, firing techniques
and metal finishing like polishing, burnishing and coloring with acid
patinas and paint. Participants will create a small piece with bronze
clay; discuss concepts of design and learn a variety of techniques to
create visual texture and interest. This is a great class for clay
artists, potters, jewelers or anyone interested in exploring a new type
of clay that can be used as an alternative media by itself or as an
additional element to enhance once fired clay, plaster or any other art
medium.
