On this evening class you will have the opportunity to make a piece of jewellery from silver clay. Silver clay is relatively new to the world of jewellery making, introduced by Mitsubishi in the early 90&rsquo;s. It is made from tiny particles of reclaimed and recycled silver which are mixed with a non toxic organic binder.
The clay can be rolled, textured, moulded and carved. During firing, the binder burns away and the silver particles sinter so you are left with a beautiful piece of solid silver. There are so many possibilities to create some beautiful jewellery.
In your class you will learn some of the basic techniques needed to create silver clay jewellery and shown how to use the required tools in the workshop.
- Designed for beginners - you need no previous experience or skill!
- Small class numbers so you get plenty of tutor time (5 people max).
- The class starts at 6pm and ends at 9pm.
- Most people make a pair of earrings or a pendant.
- Materials included - see more below.
- The Jewellery Business is located in Sheffield City Centre and is a fully equipped jewellery studio.
The class fees includes materials (5g silver clay, and either a chain for a pendant or some ear wires for earrings), if you wish to make more on the day you can purchase extras in the class.
Your tutor, Dawn Rowbotham of Lillybank Silver, is an experienced silver clay jeweller with a wealth of knowledge. Read more about Dawn and her own jewellery collections here. If you&rsquo;d prefer to do a longer session where you can learn extra techniques and create 2 or more pieces of silver clay jewellery then take a look at our full day of silver clay jewellery making. If you&rsquo;d like to find out more please get in touch with us and we&rsquo;ll get back to you!
Refunds are only available up to 7 days before the event so we have time to fill your place. You may be able to swap your booking to a different day if space is available.
