We will practice a few mokume-gane designs. Some of the designs are covered in my latest book, <em>Patterns of Color in Metal Clay,<\/em> but require some modification when applied to rings. Other designs are new developments. In the workshop we will also cover the firing process for base metal clay in depth, as well as sizing rings and finding solutions to possible reactions between the metal and the skin.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/store.artinsilver.com\/prclmobari.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up<\/a> for the class on my website. Please have a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/artinsilver.com\/Mokume-gane_rings_toolkit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">toolkit<\/a> required for the class, and <a href=\"mailto:hadar@pacbell.net\">email me<\/a> if you have any questions. Please order clay prior to the class and bring it with you.
