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.

Make a Spinner Ring

Spend a day learning how to create a beautiful spinner ring.

First you will make a straight-sided silver band to a size of your choice and a separate ‘spinner’ in brass or copper. Bring the two together using a magical technique that makes the inner ring unfurl and flute to capture the spinner whilst still allowing it to twirl. The completed ring will be ready for you to wear or give as a gift by the end of the day.

This course is suitable for complete beginners or improvers.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials to make one spinner ring are included in the course fee.

Make a Scene

Come and learn some copper-smithing techniques and put together some 2D shapes to create your very own unique 3D mixed metal sculpture.

First off you will learn how to texture, stamp and highlight the metal. Next comes the cutting, either using a saw or one of the various shape cutting tools.  After some very basic soldering, letter stamping and assembling you will leave with a gorgeous sculpture which you can be proud of.  We will be working with copper, brass and small amounts of silver, mounting the piece on wood.

This workshop is suitable for absolute beginners and improvers.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
