In this stage we will roll out our clay and press the chosen leaves into the clay to create a gorgeous leaf imprint, we then cut around the leaf to create a leaf shape or use any of the different cutters available to create a desired shape.


Drying The Clay

we will Place the leaves onto a heat pad and we will wait 20 to 30 minutes for the piece to dry fully -- during this time we can take a walk around the nature reserve or enjoy some sweet treats in the workshop room (if you like them!). Once the pieces are dry, we can sand and tidy up the pieces.

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.
