Discover the magic of jewellery making with silver cllay.



6 hours Class size 1 to 5 guests       £250 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join award-winning jewellery maker Richard Allen for an exciting jewellery-making class where you will delve into the world of silver clay. Discover the key skills needed to create beautiful pieces of jewellery that you make yourself, finish, and take home with you on the day.
Don't worry if you're new to silver clay - this workshop is perfect for beginners. Richard will guide you through the process step by step, creating a tiered pendant as your first piece. We chose this because it involves a variety of key techniques. Once you've made this, you are free to make a second piece that either matches your first or is something totally different. Feel confident and at ease as you learn how to handle, shape, cut, and refine the silver clay to craft your own unique designs.
In this workshop, you will:
  • Learn how to handle and store silver clay
  • Roll out the clay for an even finish
  • Add textures and shapes to your pieces
  • Create moulds using moulding compound
  • Join components and refine your pieces
  • Learn how to drill your jewellery ready for a bail and chain
  • Learn how to fire your jewellery, including torch firing (over 16s only)
  • Polish and finish your jewellery
  • Use patina for intricate details
Once your pieces are finished, we will show you how to attach a bail and a chain. After the class, you'll be able to wear your jewellery, or you can take home your finished pieces in a lovely jewellery box or pouch. If you want to continue your silver clay journey, we offer advanced workshops or provide silver clay kits for you to work at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.
What you'll get
You will get enough silver clay to make 2-3 pieces of silver jewellery, depending on the size. A standard chain and bail are included, as are ear hooks if you make earrings. You'll be able to wear your jewellery when you leave, or you can take it away in a jewellery box or pouch.
Knowledge required
This class is for absolute beginners. So, if you've always wanted to work with silver clay but didn't know where to start, then this workshop is for you.
What to bring
You don't need to bring anything with you other than your creative and enthusiastic self. All tools and equipment are provided.
