Working with the high-performance Project X Bronze clay, you will master the art of manipulating, folding, and shaping metal clay without causing structural stress or cracking. We’ll dive deep into advanced texturing techniques using the innovative Project X Hot Rollers to stamp deep, dramatic, organic ridges into the surface. From there, you’ll learn the precision mechanics of bezel construction, and attach a premade bezel with a 8x10mm firable cubic zirconia. Finally, you’ll construct a seamless integrated bail, assemble your components into a cohesive masterpiece, and cover firing and polishing techniques to give your raw bronze a professional,
