Jewellery Making with Precious Metal Silver Clay Jewellery – Full Day Earring Workshop
Join us on our six hour, Precious Metal Silver Clay Jewellery Making Workshop, and learn the fundamentals of creating your own beautiful solid silver earrings – both studs and dangles!
Guided by your instructor you’ll use 11 grams of silver clay to make approximately three pairs of studs and two pairs on ear wires (the number of pieces you make will be dependant upon the size you make your pieces) You will have access to all our different textures, texture mats, moulds and shapes, to create wonderful, unique pieces of jewellery.
You will learn the process of making earring with silver clay from start to finish. The first part of the day focusing upon how to handle, roll, shape and texture it, before drying and refining. The second part of the day will focus upon firing, polishing and learning how to patina. You’ll also learn basic soldering skills. Your earrings will be ready to take home with you on the day!
Precious Metal Silver clay is made up of very fine particles of recycled silver, water and a non toxic binder. When your piece is fired, the binder burns away, leaving you with solid fine silver. The process is truly magical. Art Clay fine (99.9%) silver will be used during this workshop.
You may get a little dusty, so we’ll provide an apron for you to wear on the day. Please don’t wear open toed shoes or sandals.
This workshop is aimed at those with no little or no experience of working with Silver Clay.
The workshop cost of £140 includes silver clay for your earring, use of tools and a sterling silver jump rings / earring wires / ear posts
