Introduction. My name is Agnes Koekoek I have been teaching creative workshops and courses for many years. I have a background in Fashion and Textiles. Years ago I was introduced to Art Clay and infected with the virus. The possibilities are endless and the results amazing. In addition, Art Clay Silver is made from recycled precious metals. This is better for people and the environment.
I have taken several Art Clay training courses. After the Level 1 and Level 2 trainings I started to specialize and obtained several more certificates including Art Clay in combination with UV Resin (suitable technique for memorial jewelry with ashes or hair) , Art Clay in combination with Porcelain, New Mokume Gane (this is a technique where silver and copper are combined), Art Clay Paper Quilling, Art Clay Gold and Art Clay Glass. Meanwhile, I also have my Higher Level Art Clay Silver certificate.
In addition to the official Art Clay certificates, I have taken master classes/certifications for the following;
Art Clay Bronze,
Art Clay Copper,
Art Clay hollow jewelry (also great for ash jewelry)
Art Clay silver boxes.
Enameling
Filigrain
Neatly smooth, highly polished pieces must be turned in for the courses.
My own style is a bit less polished – a bit rougher. But at times I can also greatly enjoy precise and detailed work.
