Patterning your own Mokume Gane Sheet

This Sunday, August 16th, I will be teaching an exciting new class at BeadFX in Toronto - Patterning your own Mokume Gane Sheet!

Mokume Gane is a Japanese term used to describe mixed-metal sheet that imitates the look of wood grain. As someone who has a background in Botany, I absolutely adore the idea of mimicking the interesting textures and patterns of wood in metal.

In the class I will be teaching how to combine sheet metals, and then how to manipulate the metals to form interesting patterns. This is a workshop-style course to introduce students to the technique. Students will leave with their own uniquely patterned metals that they can incorporate into future projects. If time permits, I will show students how to make simple lentil pendants with their lovely patterned metal.
