Welcome and Class Intro
Arrive, settle in and enjoy an intro on the tools you'll be using and how to handle the clay. You can use gloves and an apron if you'd like, plus masks will be available for the dry standing stage.
Clay Making
In this stage we will roll out the clay, apply a texture (using either your own organic item or a variety of available items). We will then add a gem and some embellishments using tiny moulds.
Drying the Clay
Place them onto a heat pad and we wait 15 minutes for the piece to dry fully -- during this time we can enjoy tea and biscuits and I will explain what happens during the firing. Once they are dry, we can sand and tidy up the pieces.
Admire Our Work
When all our pieces are finished we can admire our creative accomplishments and take some photos if you wish! You will receive your fired and polished pendant (with chain of course!) in the post within 7 days!
- Learn the fundamentals of working with copper metal clay.
- Use 12g of copper metal clay to create a nature-inspired pendant, with 2g reserved to make the slip used for attaching embellishments.
- Press organic materials such as leaves, twigs, and shells into the clay to create natural textures.
- Embellish your pendant with one gemstone and a selection of miniature moulds featuring leaves, moons, stars, and other decorative designs.
- Dry your finished pendant on heat pads before admiring everyone's creations!
- Receive a Metal Clay Alchemist Stage 1 certificate, which can be used to claim a discount on future Metal Clay Alchemist workshops with Sunnygems.

Your teacher
Hello! I’m Hanna and I’m the owner of Sunnygems. I specialize in metal clay sculptural jewellery. I work mostly in bronze and copper and enjoy infusing themes into my work like medieval history, mythology, fantasy, and the beauty of nature. I originally started out studying animation before moving into illustration, where I loved creating detailed, nature-inspired artwork. Over time, my creativity led me to jewellery making. I first explored traditional techniques using sheet metal and wire wrapping, but everything changed when I received a small pack of metal clay for Christmas. The moment I tried it, I knew I'd found the craft for me, and I've been completely hooked ever since. Since starting my business in 2024, I have run 4 full-day bronze metal clay workshops. Everyone has left the workshops feeling like they enjoyed the experience, so I’ve decided to grow my workshops in an effort to be able to offer more creative opportunities to the world. Being able to share the love and joy of sculpting with metal clay and watching it transform from something so soft into solid metal is one of the most satisfying parts of the process. There's nothing better than seeing someone discover that magic for the first time and leave feeling proud of what they've created. My workshops are relaxed, welcoming, and designed for everyone, whether you're completely new to jewellery making or simply looking to try something different. I hope everyone leaves feeling inspired, confident, and excited to keep creating.
