We're delighted to be welcoming "Un-sane" metal clay artist Michael Marx back to our studio for another fun, out-of-the-box workshop! Metal clay is a unique medium that allows makers to create dimensional, deeply patterned, and intricate forms previously most often seen in cast pieces, and Michael is known for his quirky, detailed, sculptural art that pushes the envelope in this terrific material.
In this two-day master class, we will construct unique owl pendants using Project X .999 Flex metal clay. We will start off by making a hollow-form textured base, using layered textures and adding primary facial details and creative embellishments. Next, we’ll explore how to give our owls unique expressions using different methods of creating eyes, eyebrows, and additional details. Finally, we'll finish our creations with the addition of tiny little feet and a hidden bail.
This is an intermediate skills class, and students should have some recent successful metal clay experience under their belts. Everyone will learn some new techniques from one of metal clay's most creative practitioners.
Workshop fee (non-taxable): $400
Saturday and Sunday
May 17 & 18, 2025

About Michael Marx
I have been a sculptor and artist as long as I can remember. My childhood gifts were art supplies as often as they were toys or books. I was born in Massachusetts in 1969 and lived there for 18 years, before moving to California in 1987. After 33 years in the Bay Area, I relocated to South Carolina in 2020, where I currently reside. In the beginning, I sculpted in FIMO, a polymer clay, and this honed my ability to transform my visions into 3-D images.In 2000, I took my first PMC (precious metal clay) class and was hooked. PMC’s affinity for texture, flexibility of form, and choices of finishing techniques make it ideal for me as an artist. The combinations of fine detail, high texture and varied forms are not easily achieved using traditional methods of casting and fabrication. While my main focus is making wearable sculpture, I also work in mixed-media.
