Intro to the Silhouette Portrait® Kit with Cindy Pope

The Silhouette allows you to etch and cut flexible metal clay sheet using your own designs on the Silhouette software. In this video, Cindy etches and cuts Phoenix Fine Silver and Aureus Bright Bronze Clay, made flexible by adding Rejuvenate. The Silhouette Portrait Kit contains everything you need for getting started in using the Portrait for metal clay.

The second video below shows how to create flexible metal clay for the Silhouette with Rejuvenate.

The tools and products shown in these videos are listed below.

Note: The Silhouette Portrait has replaced the previously recommended Silhouette Curio.

Artist and Instructor, Cindy Pope, started creating jewelry in 2007 and fell in love with the jewelry arts. Once she stumbled upon metal clay she became instantly enamored by the medium. Cindy started out with Precious Metal Clay certification and metalsmithing classes and she is one of Hadar Jacobson’s first Cadre of Base Metal Accredited teachers.

When Saul Bell Award winner Wanaree Tanner came out with the concept of cutting and etching metal clay with a machine designed for paper called the Silhouette, Cindy jumped on board with the new technology and has become one of the most recognized teachers in the field internationally.
