I am thrilled to announce that Lesley Messam has completed her New Mokume Gane Certificate. We had an email from Japan this week confirming that her exam pieces had passed. This is absolutely brilliant news as it is quite a demanding course; the pieces are made over a four day period and involve creating complex patterns using both art clay silver and art clay copper. They have a long firing period and then have to be polished and finished to a high standard. Here are Lesley’s pieces
I will be teaching this again in the Autumn, just need to sort out a few dates. I intend to teach this four day intensive course as two sessions of two days each session. There is a lot of polishing and finishing involved and the certification is only available to Art Clay Senior Instructors. Please just use the contact form if you are interesting in booking.
