Petroglyphs or primitive rock carvings can be found all over the islands in Hawaii. The symbols tell the stories of the ancient Hawaiian people. Presented is a modern take on the traditional Hawaiian Petroglyph. This fun, mixed-media project designed by Holly Gage and Gordon Uyehara will include traditional or colored sand, silver metal clay, and pearls. You will learn step by step how to make the beautiful 3-dimensional framework in silver clay, capture the hardened sand, and inlay your silver metal petroglyph symbol. Cleverly hidden wires allow you to decorate your framework with pearls, and there is a clever bail, attachments, and choices for more complicated designs.
