3 hours Class size 6 to 8 guests       £50 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Come and enjoy a relaxing time in the Craft Barn, creating your very own solid silver pendant or pair of earrings at this half-day Introduction to Clay Silver Art.
Join guest tutor Jo Richards of Faye Benjamin Jewellery for a half-day workshop. She will show you that with a few simple techniques, you can turn Silver Clay from a squishy little lump into solid silver jewellery. It really is amazing!
There will be plenty of time to explore the material and get tips and advice to cut, shape, and texture your piece. Your work will be fired and finished during the session so you can take (or wear) your creation home with pride!

Jo has been studying, designing, making, and selling jewellery for over 25 years. Since 2006, she has concentrated mainly on working in Art Clay Fine Silver - a recycled silver which can be Assay hallmarked as 99.9% pure silver. Jo absolutely loves what she does, and sharing her passion for Silver Clay makes her truly happy.

Launched in 2014, Lechlade Craft Barn was created by Karen Holland and is based in an old stone barn at Karen’s Cotswold home in the beautiful market town of Lechlade-on-Thames. Lechlade is on the borders of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire not far from Cirencester, Burford and Swindon. The barn is full of character and inspiration, a perfect environment to get crafty!
Karen wanted to share her passion for crafting with others and starting with just 3 or 4 different workshops the demand for more crafting soon increased. Led by Karen and her team of talented tutors there is a wide range of affordable craft workshops to choose from such as crochet, mosaics, lampshade making, block printing, silversmithing, bookbinding, lino cutting, stained glass, pyrography, silver clay, and much more.
All workshops are aimed at beginners and upwards – whether you’re exploring a craft for the first time or topping up existing skills, each workshop is fun and relaxed. Craft your way to happiness with a craft barn workshop or one of the kits available to make at home.
Crafty Parties are a great way to spend fun time with friends or family celebrating a birthday or hen party. Spend a couple of hours or a whole day, even those non-crafty friends enjoy themselves!
Karen has been making things since a small child. At primary school she made a needle case for the Christmas Bazaar, bought it herself and is still using it 50 years later! Having learned how to knit, crochet, and sew at a young age, Karen was making her own clothes by the age of 11.
We all have busy lives, families and work commitments that all take priority. During the Pandemic we found crafting the perfect boost needed for everyone's wellbeing and we should be giving ourselves a little 'me' time to unwind. What better way to do it than crafting!
You're never too old to learn a new skill. Karen has just taught her mother to crochet at the age of 84!
