Come and learn to make your own unique solid silver glass pendant and earrings using silver clay and a cabochon, which is a gem that has been polished but not faceted.
Our instructor, Louise, is fully qualified as a senior tutor and holds an Art Clay Higher Diploma and has been teaching jewellery making for over ten years.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced jeweller, Louise is on hand to help you create your own cabochon design from silver clay. You'll be guided by Louise to help you make your own pieces for you to treasure and take away! Louise has a relaxed, informal approach with the aim of having fun as well as learning and creating lovely pieces of jewellery. Please come and experience the course yourself and add a new item to your jewellery collection!
What actually happens on the course?
Louise will introduce you to this amazing material, silver clay, and will explain how the clay will become solid silver pieces of beautiful jewellery by the end of your course. She will explain how the pieces of stone will be incorporated into the designs.
She has many ideas for creating wonderful cabochon designs from silver clay. Louise will then show you how to incorporate the stones and fire your pieces. This firing process removes particles in the clay to leave a solid silver piece. You will then polish your creations. This whole process never ceases to amaze people, transforming a piece of silver clay into a final polished solid silver jewellery piece for you to show off with pride.
Silver clay is an environmentally-friendly recycled product, which when fired, becomes solid silver of Hallmark quality.
This course is suitable for all kinds of events from a quiet day away immersing yourself in a creative art or for a celebration, team event, hen parties etc.

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 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 hold a Higher Diploma in Silver Metal Clay and am a senior metal clay instructor and glass teacher. I have been teaching for over ten years running classes from my studio in Market Bosworth and many jewellery schools and galleries all around the Midlands area. I am a member of The Guild of Jewellers and am on the education committee of the alliance of metal clay. I also hold a Gold student choice award. One of my proudest moments was visiting Tokyo and seeing one of my pieces displayed in the Silver Accessories Exhibition.
I would love to meet you on one of my courses so please book as soon as you can.
