This is a fantastic 1-day workshop with beautiful results. Combine beachcombed glass treasure with silver clay to create your own unique hand-crafted jewellery. Smoothed by waves and wind, frosted and translucent, sea glass has a beautiful quality of its own.
Silver clay is an amazing medium which can be sculpted by hand or shaped in tiny moulds, then heat-fired to form solid silver. Bring along your own beach finds or comb through ours to select the perfect ‘jewel’. You will learn how to carefully drill sea glass to incorporate into your designs.
You will complete several pieces of jewellery to take home. Projects include a silver bangle with charms, a necklace with pendant/charms, and a pair of earrings (matching or individual).
A choice of moulds will be provided to create elements using Silver Art Clay (Precious Metal Clay). This malleable material consists of fine silver particles held in an organic binder. On firing, it fuses together to produce solid hallmark quality silver.
This is a rewarding way of working with metal without the need for many traditional silversmithing tools. The class welcomes both beginners and those with experience.
What to expect:
  • Learn various techniques
  • Roll out clay & add texture/pattern
  • Cut shapes & mould forms
  • Drill sea glass & combine with silver elements
  • Sand & prepare your piece for firing
  • Fire, polish & add patinas
Enjoy a light lunch, drinks, biscuits, and cakes to keep you energised.
You will return home with several pieces of your own unique handmade jewellery.
