Silver Metal Clay Taster Workshop |
Join Charlotte on her one and a half hour, Precious Metal Silver Clay Jewellery Making Taster Workshop, and learn the fundamentals of creating your own beautiful solid silver jewellery. This workshop is aimed at those with no little or no experience of working with Silver Clay. After this workshop you will have the basic skills to be able to create your own designs in the comfort of your own home. Precious Metal Silver clay is made up of very fine particles of recycled pure 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. Guided by your instructor you’ll make one solid silver charm. You will have access to a selection of different textures, and shapes, to create a wonderful, unique piece of jewellery. You will learn the process of making jewellery with silver clay from start to finish. You’ll learn how to handle, roll, shape and texture it, before drying and refining. You’ll then be shown how your jewellery is kiln fired and finish the session with polishing your charm. Your charm will be ready to take home with you on the day! |
