Silver Clay Taster Class

Unlock your creative spark at this silver clay jewellery making workshop in Farnham.



3 hours Class size 8 to 15 guests       £85 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this silver clay workshop and learn how to turn a magical, clay-like material into your own stunning, pure silver charms. This class is the perfect introduction if you've ever wanted to create your own jewellery but felt daunted by the process.
This is a fun, no-pressure activity where you will learn the basics of working with silver clay. It’s as easy to mould as regular clay but transforms into pure, shiny silver once fired. In just a few hours, I will show you how to make three to five personalised pieces. You'll get to explore simple shapes or textured designs and see your creativity turn into solid silver. You will experience the thrill of torch-firing your creations yourself under my expert guidance, or you can leave them with me to be kiln-fired and mailed back to you.
A 7g pack of top-quality silver clay is included, giving you more than enough to craft multiple charms. All the tools are provided, and you'll have the option to purchase earring hooks and chains to turn your charms into ready-to-wear jewellery.
Please note, due to the use of a very hot torch, this is not a child-friendly class. No one under 16 will be allowed to attend unless a parent is also booked onto the class and is happy to take responsibility for the child during the firing process.
You’ll leave with a collection of beautiful, handcrafted silver charms that are uniquely yours, feeling wonderfully empowered by this creative and enjoyable experience.
2026 Edit: due to the unfortunate sudden (approx. 40%) increase in the cost of silver clay, the class fee has been increased. Sadly I have no option!
What you'll get
7g of silver clay to create solid silver charms (earrings, pendants etc.) RRP £25. Students will leave with their own unique piece of silver jewellery.

Hi! I'm Sian and I've been a metal clay artist and teacher for nearly 30 years. Hamilton Jewellery has been around since 2008 and is one of my small businesses.
I also run a freelance web and graphic design business! I love craft, pretty much all craft and I've always been passionate about teaching what I know to others.
My classes are all based in metal clay, I'm a huge fan of silver clay as it opens up silver jewellery making to so many people who don't have traditional silversmithing skills or the desire to learn complex processes.
I teach beginners and intermediate classes using Art Clay Silver in the education centre at Alice Holt Forest, near Farnham. It's a beautiful setting and the classroom has lots of space and a kitchen for cups of tea! I love colour so lots of my classes involve using acrylic inks and resin to add pops of colour to the silver pieces.
I hope you'll join me and I look forward to meeting you at a class very soon.
