Jewellery

This three hour workshop will give you an introduction into jewellery making using the fabulous material of Precious Metal (Silver) Clay.

Silver Clay is made up of very fine particles of pure silver, water and a non toxic binder. When your piece if fired, the binder burns away, leaving you with solid fine silver. It's a magical process!

Guided by Charlotte, you'll learn the basics of working with silver clay, how to handle it, roll, shape and texture it before drying and refining, then onto torch firing, polishing and finally learning how to patina.

You will create one, solid fine silver pendant and it will be ready to take home with you on the day.

All materials are included in the price of the course and is suitable for those who are new to working with silver clay.
