Silver clay feels like alchemy, first it is clay and then once fired you have hallmarkable quality silver. The clay contains a binder and fine silver particles, when heat is applied, the magic happens – the binder burns away, and the silver particles sinter together to create a fine silver piece. The silver particles have been recycled which means you can make unique eco-friendly jewellery, with a clear conscience.  Join us on this one-day class where we will make one or two pieces of silver clay jewellery using this magical medium.

We will start out by creating a mould. You can create one or two-part moulds to enable us to explore making duplicates of small found objects in silver clay. If you have any small objects that that you wish to try, please feel free to bring those along, although there will be a broad selection available to use on the day such as shells, and various trinkets.

During the class we will be using 10g of silver clay (fine silver), which should be enough to make 1 to 2 pieces depending on the size of your design.

You will also learn how to finish off your work to a high standard, how to fire your pieces and polish.
