Learn silver clay day

The silver Clay Jewellery Day is a fun day to create some pieces of jewellery to take away with you that evening and a kit with everything you need to carry on making jewellery at home.

If you wish for me to supply you with some silicon putty to make finder prints of loved ones or pet nose prints in advance of your workshop to make jewellery with please let me know. You are also welcome to bring along with you some items to make moulds from on the day to make jewellery from i.e., shells or charms from old jewellery ect. If there is a item I sell that you have seen in my shop we can also make that together.

On the day there is a rough outline of what can be made but you can chat me through your ideas beforehand or on the day and if we have enough silver clay and time we can try and make whatever you want.

You don’t have to have had any experience with jewellery making before I can guide you through the process to help you create what you desire. This will be a fun and relaxing session with plenty of time to experiment and be creative. I will guide through every process with demonstrations and one to one support when needed.

We will be using PMC clay, which is great and fun to create stunning designs in sterling silver. It can be hallmarked as sterling silver (.925) and it is also eco-friendly as it contains recycled silver.

What could be made on the day
• Earrings (studs or dangles), with sterling silver backings and gift box
• Personalised sterling silver pendant, with silver chain and gift box
• Mini charm sterling silver earrings or pendent with findings and chain
• A gem to add to a item, I have a range of colours, if there is a particular colour please let me know

During the 6+ hours you will
• Learn how to handle the clay-like medium
• Learn how to cut it into a shape using the range of shapes cutters I have on offer
• Learn how to stamp your personalisation or create a design on to the item
• Learn how to use the clay with moulds
• Learn how to refining the dry piece
• You will fire your piece using a butane (small cooks) torch and use a kiln
• And you will finally how to polish and finish your piece
