MAKE THE PIECES YOU SEE!!

ENROLL NOW AND RECIEVE THE WANAREE TANNER SIGNATURE TEXTURE PLATE CELTIC SALMON SET FOR FREE!*

These deep relief, natural gum rubber texture plates were drawn and designed by Wanaree specifically for metal clay applications and were the secret to her professional Celtic jewelry line for many years. They feature crisp, fine detail, rolling tracks (so you never have to worry about having room for your roller), and spillover groves for excess clay to escape to encourage clean impressions. With this class you'll even learn how to create a Texture Right Roller plus all the secrets for getting great impressions everytime out of your texture plates. Free shipping to the lower 48 states!

MetalClay Arts Conservatory's digital library is a focused study for the cultivation of metal clay artistry delivered to the comfort of your home or studio. This Project Workshop Course comes with my new signature natural gum rubber, deep cut texture plates designed to get great relief impressions, and will be featured in future classes! The course not only covers working the wet and dry metal clay, but also making custom tools, firing, kiln programing, high contrast patina finishing, getting clean consistent impressions from this finely detail textureplate, making matching custom ear wires, introduction to carbon firing, kinetic swing bail construction, and so much more. This class features 18 separate demo videos and 19 lessons, 90 pages of step by step class handouts and support PDFs (embedded with live hyperlinks so you don't ever have to wonder what a particular tool is or where it’s available.) Everything is streamlined and easily accessible from multiple devices.

Technique retention is a huge issue, and after years of travel teaching, I've found it is the most frequent problem. How many times have you been to a live workshop and found yourself chasing techniques in a notebook only to miss the demonstration all together? Couldn't make out what was being demoed between the crush of eager onlookers? Lost a technique entirely by the time you get back to your own studio? Maybe it's been impossible to get to a class or take enough days off to even attend. While nothing can replace the benefits of live interaction with an instructor, this platform has enabled me to develop a whole new way of distance learning that extends beyond some of the limitations of other workshops

It's allowed me to leave NOTHING out, every step, every technique is now available in up close detail. Each demo video is viewable as many times as you like and shot in first person, so you can see what it really looks like if it were YOUR hands working. The videos are typically less than 10 minutes, so even if you only have a few minutes a day to yourself, you can attend, at YOUR pace. With enrollment, you get one entire year to complete the course, discussion prompts for questions and email technique support from me directly. All you have to do is write.

This Project Workshop, taught live, over two days would cost at least $250 in any teaching studio or school, but is now available, for a fraction of the cost.

Sign up, join in, but don't miss out on this new frontier of artistic growth.

Sincerely,

Wanaree Tanner
