Sea Glass Stone Setting Workshop with Silver Clay

Discover the magic of turning silver clay and sea glass into beautiful, sea-inspired jewellery. Using moulds of tiny shells and natural textures, you’ll create your own fine silver rockpool pendant — a one-of-a-kind treasure that captures the spirit of the Cornish coast.Spend a creative day mastering the art of fine silver jewellery making using the magic of silver clay, an eco-friendly and enjoyable way to craft your own jewellery. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll set sea glass stones (either your own collection or a selection provided in the studio) into silver clay and use micro moulds of shells to create a truly unique rockpool pendant. You can leave your silver plain, add texture, or embellish it with tiny silver clay pebbles and shells capturing the intricate beauty of a Cornish rockpool in your own design.Sea glass, sometimes called mermaid tears or sea jewels, consists of pieces of glass smoothed and frosted by at least 25 years in the sea. Over time, these fragments transform into stunning, softly coloured nuggets that are perfect for jewellery making. You are welcome to bring your own sea glass or flat-backed stones of sentimental value perhaps collected on a family holiday or found by a child. Ideally, stones should be about 1cm in diameter, thin and flat. If you don’t have your own, a wide selection of sea glass is available at the studio.Although this workshop is slightly more advanced than my Beginners workshop, you will receive plenty of individual attention, making it suitable even for complete beginners or anyone new to jewellery making.
