Sea Glass Stone Setting Workshop with Silver Clay

Suitable for beginners and intermediates. Held at The Sanctuary Cornwall - an eco-lodge in Golant, near Fowey in Cornwall. You will spend a day learning the art of fine silver jewellery making and stone setting using the alchemy of silver clay, an eco-friendly and fun way to make silver jewellery. You will be setting sea glass stones (either your own or mine) in your silver clay to make your own truly unique pendant necklace. You can choose to either texture the silver clay or keep it plain and decorate with little silver clay embellishments such as pebbles or little shells - it’s up to you. This small workshop includes everything you need (a veggie lunch, home made cake, 10g silver clay/ fine silver, bezel wire, sea glass, sterling silver clay, fixings, tea, coffee, and prosecco).Sea glass is also known as mermaid tears or sea jewels. They are pieces of glass that have become smooth and frosty from being in the sea for at least 25 years. Over this time, they have become lovely gems of softly coloured glass nuggets. As with all of my courses, this will be an intimate and personable workshop. This workshop has a maximum of five people. Although slightly more advanced than my beginners workshop, the small numbers will allow for lots of individual attention and is great for beginners. You are welcome to bring your own sea glass that you have collected or a flat-backed stone. This may be something that has sentimental meaning, perhaps from a special holiday or found by one of your children. Ideally, you want to find a stone around 1cm in diameter and as thin and flat as possible. Alternatively, I do have a large selection available for those who haven’t made it to the beach yet.
