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.

‘Collage is a metaphor for any discovering, gathering ad reweaving of energy bits already formed and present in the universe. A new and personal creation can be made from the ever-present divine chaos of images all around us. Just choose, assemble, name and then inhabit your SoulCollage® cards’
-Seena Frost. Originator/birther of SoulCollage®

When we come together to make SoulCollage® in community, amazing things happen. 
There is a magic in the paradoxes built into this journey  that only requires you coming along with your curiosity and imagination.

No artistic genius recquired whatsoever. Just your presence!

Images have things to say to us. 

They can call us through our hearts, our instinctual knowing, and our open intuitive minds. 
In this sense, images offer us potals and openings to a deep wisdom stream.
All you need to do is be open to the images that are asking for your attention. Then you make a collage, then you listen to what it wants you to know. It is simple, and prodound. 




Because SoulCollage® is a transformational experience, it is hard to convery this in writing. 


Here are some things people have said about a SoulCollage® session at The Soul Shed: 

"Loved this workshop, from start to finish it made my heart sing.  It was a feast for the soul with words and images that were crafted into something rich and deep for me" -J.E

"What stood out for me was how it just happened ....one thing alchemised into another thing” - L.B

"I'd describe it as a good way to reconnect with your creative side, relax and maybe gain insight into what is happening inside you" - D.F.


This is an in place event in a creative studio in the delightful village of Hartley Wintney. You might like to linger after we close and take a look at the local crafts and antique shops, or take a stroll around the village green just outside of where we will be for the day. It is really quite unique. 



Getting there: Full directions by car  to the venue will come in the follow up to your booking. There is free weekend parking. The nearest train  station is Winchfield.

TIME: 7-8pm  
 FREE EVENT
This event is held on ZOOM, so please register to get the Zoom details.



Join us for a FREE Tea 'N Chat with Textile artist and teacher LINDA HARVEY who talks about her work.
We are excited to have the immensely talented mixed-media textile artist Linda Harvey join us for our April Tea 'N Chat event. With over 25 years of experience in both teaching and creating, Linda brings a deep well of knowledge and a true passion for her craft. As the Head of Textiles at Archbishop Holgate's School in York and a dedicated member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, Linda's commitment to her art is truly inspiring.
Linda’s artwork is a mesmerizing fusion of rustic textures and innovative techniques. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she transforms photographs into expressive, abstract textile creations. Her work beautifully reflects her love for color and texture, incorporating elements such as hand-felted backgrounds, free-motion embroidery, intricate layering, and rust dyeing.

LINDA HARVEY  Textile Artist and Head of Textiles at Archbishop Colgate School, York

Linda studied Textiles and Surface Design at University Centre Somerset, graduating in 1994. She is a textile artist and Head of Textiles at a York secondary school and a member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes and supports the best in stitched art worldwide.
The inspiration for her work mainly comes from the places she visits, taking photographs of anything that catches her eye. These photographs give a starting point from which her work evolves, often working on several pieces at a time, as she enjoys an expressive and experimental way of working.
Linda is inspired by rustic textures and the ageing process, drawn to anything corroded and tarnished and immediately seeing how it can be turned into a textile art piece. Colour and texture are the key elements in her work.
