Learn how to cut and shape glass, chip and grind broken slate to a shape that suits and attach the two together. Drill holes to suspend or attach other components such as beads or findings to add interest and bling. You will make several of these pieces in a day, each one different and perhaps going a step further into a deeply creative zone. Surprise yourself with what you can do with broken slate, glass and the right tools.
These pieces can be worn, added to a wall hanging or other small sculptural element.
This class is a good introduction to working with slate using a hammer and other tools for shaping and grinding the edges to a smooth finish to use the slate as a base for other work. Connecting to the slate base is done by drilling holes and wiring, sometimes glue and suspending over the surface while attached to other components.
