Silver Clay Jewellery Workshop – Full Day

About

On this full day course you will have the opportunity to make a couple of pieces of jewellery from silver clay.

Silver clay is relatively new to the world of jewellery making, introduced by Mitsubishi in the early 90s. It is made from tiny particles of reclaimed and recycled silver which are mixed with a non toxic organic binder. The clay can be rolled, textured, moulded and carved. During firing, the binder burns away and the silver particles sinter so you are left with a beautiful piece of solid silver. There are so many possibilities to create some beautiful jewellery.

In your class you will learn some of the basic techniques needed to create silver clay jewellery and shown how to use the required tools in the workshop.

- Designed for total beginners and people looking to improve.
- Dawn will meet you at your level and help you progress.
- Small class numbers so you get plenty of tutor time (5 people max).
