Silver Clay Flowers

Silver clay is an addictive medium with so many possibilities!

On this one day course you will learn how to prepare and handle your silver clay, using rolling, texturing and cutting techniques to make a selection of flowers for either an ornamental display or to turn into jewellery.

You can then add additional stones and UV resin colours to enhance your designs. While the flowers are firing there will be some options to prepare findings to turn your flowers into pins or pendants or to make air dry clay vases for the completed flowers. Take home your flowers to keep or as a unique gift for family and friends.

This course is suitable for beginners and improvers.

A light lunch, refreshments and an amount of silver clay is included in the course fee.

Additional stones and other decorations are extra and a materials cost for these will be payable to the tutor on the day.

Silver Clay Play Day

Come and play with the possibilities of silver clay in this one-day workshop.

With 10g of clay each to work with, you can choose what you will make, with help and guidance from your tutor.  Make a pendant, a pin brooch, a ring or an earrings and pendant set.  Add fireable stones, make moulded shapes, or just sculpt something.

A discussion will take place first to make sure you get the best from your clay and the day, then you will be guided through the construction, firing and initial polishing of your piece. You can watch the demonstration of other techniques to give you ideas for future projects.

Take home a solid silver piece at the end of the day, perfect for yourself or as a unique gift for someone.

This course is suitable for beginners and improvers.

A light lunch, refreshments and 10g of silver clay are included in your course fee. Additional clay, stones and fixings are available at an extra cost, payable to your tutor on the day.
