Silver clay jewellery taster | private class for up to 10 people

Description

On this private silver clay jewellery taster class, you can create a pendant, charms and/or a pair of earrings from hallmark-quality silver with metal clay specialist, Anna Campbell of Jewellery School Scotland.
 
You will learn how to make jewellery out of a material called silver clay, which is made up of recycled silver particles, an organic binder and water. Silver clay requires with very little equipment so it's perfect for those wanting to learn a new skill they can easily do at home.
 
You will be taken through all the steps to create your own piece ready for firing. The dried clay is fired with a butane torch to form it into silver (but a crème brulé torch will do the trick!). You’ll then polish your silver jewellery ready to take home.

For wedding and birthday party groups, a popular option is to create a charm for the birthday person, or bride/groom-to-be, and we include a complimentary bracelet (see image). And then you can make a charm, pendant or pair of earrings for yourself.
 
This taster class is perfect for giving you an idea of the possibilities of this unique material, and you learn all the skills you need to move on to one of our more advanced jewellery making workshops if you catch the silver clay bug!
