Swirls & Curls with Stephanie Chavez 2-4-27 Tucson

Create a fun and whimsical pendant using red bronze base metal clay, a beautiful warm-toned material with the rich appearance of rose gold.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to precision-set fireable CZs, create even and consistent coils for graceful swirls and decorative details, and design a bail that not only securely supports your pendant but also becomes part of the overall design.

You’ll also learn the fundamentals of firing base metal clay and techniques for finishing your piece to bring out its beautiful color, texture, and shine.

Because base metal clay requires an extended firing process, your finished pendant will be available for pickup the following day or can be mailed to you at no additional cost.

Material Kit Includes: Red bronze base metal clay, fireable CZs, use of shared tools, consumables, and printed instructions. All tools will be provided for students to use during class. Kit fee $35

Please note: The material fee is based on current metal and material costs as of August 2026 and is subject to change based on fluctuations in metal prices and supply costs.
