Course content:
Handmade jewellery is always a well-received gift – design and create your own bespoke fine silver jewellery pieces to give to a special person

A day of indulgence when, with no prior experience, we immerse ourselves working with Precious Metal Clay to create a pendant and a pair of silver earrings.

During the day you will learn all about the different metal clays available and how each clay type can be used and fired. While making your jewellery, you will learn how to roll, shape, texture, decorate and cut the clay for your designs.

Once the Clay is dry, you will learn how to ensure you have a professional finish prior to firing it. We will use a gas torch to fire the earrings or a pendant. This process converts the clay into 99% fine silver.

Our silver jewellery will then be burnished and polished ready for you to give .

Expect to pay approximately £35 on the day for materials including precious metal clay and silver wire.

Please note that pure and sterling silver costs are increasing and the charge is an estimate only. Gift boxes and other materials will also be available to purchase.

Fees for your course: £24
