Ms. Wernlund teaches
two levels of metal classes: Introductory to Metals and Studio Metals.
In her introductory class,
students have been working on cast projects and inlay soder projects. The
inlay soder projects help students work with colors by using different metals
such as copper, brass, and silver. Her introductory class is also working
on a variety of different pieces for their open projects. Some have choosen
to do enamel projects and sheet metal hammer projects, while some are even
working with silver metal clay. This type of clay works like normal clay,
but when heated in the kiln, the clay burns off and pure silver is left. The
process takes about two hours. Using the silver metal clay is unique in that
it allows students to create very intricate items.
In the studio metal class,
students are working on a variety of projects of their choice. Most are choosing
to make functional pieces such as rings and necklaces with various stone settings.
