Jewellery Workshop - An Introduction to Silver Clay - Christmas gifts with a sparkle!

No previous experience required. Suitable for ages 12 and above.

Suitable for beginners, Silver Clay can be cut, shaped and textured with ease – a wonderful way to create your very own unique pendant, charm or drop earrings – depending on the size of your pieces there is usually enough for more than one! You will also have the option to add a touch of sparkle and set a cubic zirconia in one of your pieces. Create your own perfect gift - Christmas themed or otherwise - the choice is yours!

What is included:

  • Expert guidance from a tutor with over 15 years experience
  • Refreshments
  • A Faye Benjamin gift bag to store your precious creations
  • Class notes
  • Exclusive student discount voucher
  • A branded goodie bag to take home

What you will learn:

  • Design ideas and considerations
  • Introduction to tools and equipment
  • How to roll, cut and texture clay
  • Setting a cubic zirconia
  • Drying, sanding and refining
  • Firing
  • Polishing and finishing
  • How to attach jump rings and earwires

We will work at a relaxed pace with plenty of time to explore the material and ask questions along the way. Your work will be fired and finished during the session so you can wear your creation(s!) home with pride!

Please bring a sturdy pair of shoes; drinks will be provided.

I have been studying, designing, making and selling jewellery for over 25 years. Since 2006 I've concentrated mainly on working in Art Clay Fine Silver - a recycled silver which can be Assay hallmarked as 99.9% pure silver.
