Have you ever wanted to create a unique piece of jewellery?
Spend the day immersing yourself in learning a new skill with guest tutor Jo Richards of Faye Benjamin Jewellery.
With a few simple techniques, in just one day, you can turn Silver Clay from a squishy little lump into solid silver jewellery and have something beautiful to take home. It really is amazing!
This workshop is suitable for beginners and will give you a great introduction to Silver Clay. Also ideal for those wishing to develop their skills further.
You will have plenty of time to explore the material, get tips and advice, and create your own pieces of jewellery. You will have the option to add a touch of sparkle if you wish, and set a cubic zirconia in one of your pieces.
Silver Clay can be cut, shaped and textured with ease – a wonderful way to create your own unique pendant, charm or drop earrings – depending on the size of your pieces there is usually enough for more than one go! Extra silver clay is available if needed, you only pay for what you use.
Make a pendant or two, or a pendant and a pair of drop earrings, some people will make bracelet charms – the choice is yours!
The skills you learn in this workshop will enable you to continue creating after you leave – the tutor will have starter kits available to purchase if you wish to make more at home.
Cost: £80 to include tuition, use of equipment, tea & coffee. There will be an additional cost of £30 for 7g of clay payable to the tutor on the day.
If you would like to finish your piece with a chain (you can bring your own), ear wires or bracelet there will be a selection available to buy.
Please bring:
- glasses if you wear them
