Join us on our beginners’ silver clay workshop to learn the basics of creating your own beautiful solid silver jewellery!
At the end of this workshop you will go home with a pair of solid silver dangle earrings of your own creation. The price includes full instruction, all findings (sterling silver ear wires, jump rings) and a gift box.
This workshop is aimed at those with no experience of working with silver clay. Silver clay is made up of very fine particles of recycled pure silver, water and a non-toxic binder. When your pieces are fired, the binder burns away, leaving you with solid fine silver. The process is truly magical!
Art Clay (99.9%) silver will be used during this workshop. Guided by your instructor, you’ll make a beautiful pair of solid silver dangle earrings.
You will have access to a variety of different textures, texture mats, moulds and shapes to create wonderful, unique pieces of jewellery. You will learn the process of making jewellery with silver clay from start to finish.
The first part of the session will focus on how to handle, roll, shape and texture the clay, before drying and refining your pieces. The second part of the class will focus on firing in the kiln, sanding and polishing, before adding your finishing touches. You will also have access to sterling silver findings to finish your earrings, including ear wires, jump rings, charms and a gift box. Your jewellery will be ready to take home with you at the end of the class.
Nibbles and a glass of Prosecco, coffee, tea or a soft drink will be on hand throughout to fuel more creativity!
No prior experience necessary. All equipment and materials will be provided at the event.
