Pollie said, "Wonderful afternoon. Louise was an excellent teacher, the day went too quick."
This hands-on silver clay jewellery course will guide you through the complete process of making jewellery suitable for inlay work. You will begin by learning how to design a piece specifically for gemstone inlay, understanding shape, depth, and surface preparation. Using malleable silver metal clay, you will be shown how to form and refine your designs before safely firing them to become strong, solid fine silver.
Once fired, you will learn how to clean, polish, and prepare your silver jewellery ready for the inlay process. Step by step, you will be guided through setting your chosen gemstone inlay, adding colour, texture, and individuality to your finished jewellery.
By the end of the workshop, you will take home beautifully handcrafted fine silver jewellery, uniquely designed and made by you.
All materials, tools, and expert tuition are included in this silver clay gemstone inlay workshop. This course is suitable for complete beginners, as well as those with some experience who would like to expand their jewellery-making skills and explore gemstone inlay techniques.

I design, make and sell my own unique handmade silver jewellery and also teach how to make silver jewellery.
I began my journey into silver metal clay whilst running a pottery studio and soon became hooked! The magic of turning a piece of clay into a solid piece of Hallmark Standard Silver never fails to amaze me and I love sharing this with my students and helping them create a lovely piece of jewellery that they can wear proudly home makes my job the best. I have worked hard to develop my skills and I strive to work to the highest standard.
I have over twelve years experience and I:
  • am a senior metal clay instructor
  • came third in an international competition held in Tokyo in 2024
  • had one of my jewellery pieces displayed in an exhibition in Tokyo in 2023
  • hold a higher diploma in silver clay
  • teach diploma levels 1 & 2
I mainly teach from my studio in Market Bosworth in Leicestershire. I also teach, and have taught, at various studios around the country including Chatsworth House, London, Nottingham, Northampton, Stratford, Birmingham, Melton Mowbray.
My classes are relaxed and informative, aiming to give all attendees an incredible experience as well as beautiful jewellery to take home with them.
Here’s a taste of what some class attendees have said about me:
“Gifted teacher and guides you through the process with hints and tips for each person along the way and has many years of experience, which comes across”
“She’s amazing”
“Great host”
I would love to meet you on one of my courses so please book as soon as you can.
