In the course, we will be exploring how to use epoxy glue in unexpected ways.
Epoxy Elegance: Mastering surface treatments and beyond.
Epoxy glue is a perfect material for creating interesting surfaces on top of metal or on alternative materials like wood, found objects or clay, for chemically bonding materials without the need of adding any heat, to encrust and embellish a piece with for example crushed stone, sand or glitter, to cover or paint a surface with colours or patterns and to make small castings. The course will also cover how to attach metal brooch backs, chain and earring posts to alternative materials. The students will be asked to bring 3-5 small objects to the class and we will be making simple open moulds with silicone putty to make small casts in epoxy glue. The students will get to create their own brooch and pair of earrings made from epoxy glue and alternative materials as well as making material samples and experiments.
The course will cover:
- Surface treatments, encrusting, colouring and embellishing with epoxy glue.
- How to create cold connections for mixed materials.
- Basic mould making and casting in silicone putty.
- Sculpting and creating objects in Sculpey clay.
- Colouring metal surfaces with enamel lacquers.
- How to use Epoxy glue for repairs.

My jewellery deals with the tension that lies between attraction and repulsion. I take seemingly inappropriate materials, making ordinary and familiar objects seem extraordinary and unfamiliar. / Märta
