FRANKI MARTIN | McHenry “TUBE AGATE”
Franki Martin is an award winning metal clay artist. Her work is created using a specialized fine silver clay. Once she sculpts, carves and finishes her design in the clay form, it is placed into a jeweler’s kiln. This allows the organic binder in the clay to burn off and the silver molecules fuse together resulting in a Pure, Fine Silver (99.9) piece of jewelry.
