No prior experience is needed; our expert instructor will guide you through each step in this hands-on workshop, and answer your questions. 
By the end of the session, you'll take home a gorgeous wreath and festive decorations to enjoy for years to come, all while connecting with fellow crafters in this creative holiday activities event!

Earth conscious credentials
We are mindful of the effect we have on the environment, and do our best to minimise our impact.
Our Christmas wreath workshop emphasises sustainability by encouraging the use of natural materials like cotton and jute cord, as well as upcycled trinkets and ribbons participants bring from home. We strive to minimise waste and promote eco-friendly crafting practices ensuring that your beautiful creations are not only festive but also environmentally responsible.
You will take the lovely products you have created home with you on the day, and workshop correspondence and notes are sent to you electronically.

Favourite feedback
We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite review for our macramé workshops.

"Had a fantastic evening in this taster workshop. It was a great opportunity to try out the skills with loads of support. Lucy was very friendly and approachable allowing you to get the most out of the time. This was a small workshop so plenty of capacity for one on one support. Definitely something I’d try again and maybe even try out the wall hanging session next!" (Heather 2020)

Beginner-friendly macrame Christmas wreath making class in Edinburgh

Macrame festive wreath workshop 

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This full-day intermediate workshop is suitable for anyone who has attended our beginners Silver clay taster or Introduction to silver clay jewellery workshops, or has experience of working with metal clay.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">On this workshop, taught by Edinburgh&nbsp;jeweller and silver clay specialist Anna Campbell, you will learn the traditional skill of soldering to advance your jewellery-making skills in order to make different types of jewellery including stud earrings and cufflinks.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This is the perfect follow-on&nbsp;to&nbsp;the beginners workshops, and has been requested by our participants! It&rsquo;s also the right workshop for you if you want to make jewellery to sell, or simply wish to make unique pieces&nbsp;for yourself, or as gifts&nbsp;for friends.&nbsp;</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">We will begin by&nbsp;designing and making&nbsp;stud earrings, cufflinks and a pendant out of silver clay. This part serves as a good recap on what you&rsquo;ve learnt previously.&nbsp;We will spend the majority of our time focussing on the skill of soldering. You will learn:</p>
<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to solder earring posts onto earrings to make studs</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to solder silver cufflink backs onto your silver clay pieces</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How to solder a jump ring onto a pendant (instead of drilling a hole)</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Loads of&nbsp;practical hints and tips</li>
</ul>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">We will cover two different types of soldering, talk about&nbsp;the equipment and materials you need (not much more than for working with silver clay), troubleshooting and more. You will have plenty of supervised practice, and by the end of the day you should have the confidence and skills you need to start making soldered silver clay jewellery&nbsp;at home.&nbsp;</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Detailed&nbsp;notes of the workshop with all the information you need to remember&nbsp;to get going will be emailed to you afterwards.</p><hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;">

Master the art of soldering: a jewellery workshop for metal clay artists
Designed for jewellery makers who work with metal clay but haven’t yet ventured into soldering, this full-day workshop is the perfect next step in advancing your skills. 
Originally created by your tutor Anna Campbell, one of the leading metal clay teachers in the UK, for the London Jewellery School, this intermediate course was developed in response to student requests for a follow-up to beginners’ silver clay class, offering a deeper dive into traditional jewellery-making techniques.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the essential skill of soldering, enabling you to expand your creative possibilities by crafting different types of jewellery, including stud earrings, cufflinks, and pendants. Whether you’re looking to start selling your jewellery, or simply want to create high-quality pieces for yourself or as gifts, this course is tailored to help you achieve your goals.
What you'll learn and create
Design and create with silver clay
As a refresher, we’ll start by designing and crafting stud earrings, cufflinks, and a pendant using silver clay, reminding you of the techniques you’ve already learned (don’t worry if it’s been a while, we’ll cover it step-by-step). 
Soldering techniques
The majority of the day will focus on mastering the art of soldering, where you’ll learn:
How to solder earring posts onto your designs to create studs;
How to solder cufflink backs to your silver clay pieces;
How to solder a jump ring onto a pendant, eliminating the need to drill a hole.
Plus many more tips, including how to make your own pickle (for cleaning metal).
Comprehensive learning experience
We’ll cover two types of soldering, explore the equipment and materials required (which isn’t much more than what you already use for silver clay), and troubleshoot common challenges. You’ll have plenty of supervised practice, and by the end of the day, you’ll feel confident in your ability to solder and take your jewellery-making to the next level - even from home!
What’s included
The cost of the course includes materials worth over £30, such as 10g of silver clay, sterling silver cufflink backs, a pair of stud earrings, and butterflies - everything you need to complete the class. 
This workshop is ideal for anyone who has completed a beginner’s silver clay course or has experience working with metal clay and is ready to advance their skills in the art of jewellery-making.

Earth conscious credentials
We are mindful of the effect we have on the environment, and do our best to minimise our impact.
Silver clay is a material manufactured from 100% recycled silver, a plant-based organic binder and water. The silver is recycled from X rays, the photographic industry, electronics etc. You don’t need a lot of tools and equipment to get started and all pieces made on this workshop can be fired with a crème brûlée torch.
You also take all the lovely products you have created home with you on the day, and workshop correspondence and notes are sent to you electronically.
Favourite feedback
We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite review for Soldering Silver Clay Jewellery.
“Attended the silver clay soldering course with Anna on Sunday and had a blast. SO delighted with the pieces that I made- and that they actually look professional and good enough to give away as gifts. Anna was an extremely patient and attentive teacher and I was astonished at how willing she was to share her professional secrets with attendees- extremely generous. Lunch was fabulous- worth booking for that alone. Highly recommend this really chilled but incredibly creative day.” [Kirsty]

Moderator’s comments:
“Textile candidates’ personal portfolios were brimming with ideas, experiments and references to textile and fashion designers as well as fine artists. Overall, the submission was exceptional in the engagement and industry and imaginative use of materials.’ 

'In Textiles, the standard of the work was outstanding…The course structure was strong. Finished pieces were often exciting and innovative. The individuality of the candidates was clearly seen in the diversity of colours, styles and techniques carefully annotated in work books and then displayed in the final outcomes.”

“The course gave candidates a very strong framework on which to build a response to the theme. Ideas were developed showing depth and thought so that the work of the highest achieving candidates was original, creative and in-depth.”

An experienced teacher, Fiona spent 38 years teaching Textiles and Food in secondary schools. Always a passionate print maker she was mesmerised when she discovered Ecoprinting and has worked extensively since 2016, developing her knowledge and understanding of this fascinating process.
One of the most important things that drew her into the craft was its sustainability credentials. Nothing is wasted in the production of these prints. Used plant materials are composted, mordants used in the process are natural garden fertilisers. Preferred textiles used are recycled cotton sheets, vintage linen and even old silk wedding dresses, often purchased in charity shops.
Fiona’s workshops are full on and you will be amazed at what can be achieved in a day!
