Turning Nature into Silver

Have you ever picked up a leaf or shell and wanted to make your own silver jewellery with it?

In this workshop, you’ll transform found natural items into stunning jewellery using metal clay. Learn to shape, fire, and finish leaves, shells, and fossils into unique pieces using a few simple tools and a variety of techniques. Metal clay is a wonderful material and an accessible way to create your own jewellery at home.

Suitable for beginners or those wishing to learn more about jewellery making, with all materials provided to create up to four items.

About the workshop leader:
Naomi Brookes is an artist and jeweller based in Devon. She creates handmade jewellery inspired by nature. Every piece starts life as a real leaf, flower, fossil, or shell before she captures it in silver, making every piece as unique as you.

Naomi feels most at home in wild places. The open moor, the dell of a woodland with the sunlight filtering down catching the wings of a butterfly, the scrubby sea cliffs of Devon where she lives, the playful burbling of a stream meandering through a meadow. She makes jewellery to take nature with me, to remind her of its abandon, exuberance and beauty.
