What you'll do
Let your imagination run wild with this introduction to the magic medium of silver clay! This exciting class in Aberdeenshire will introduce you to the tools used, basic techniques including torch firing and kiln firing, and finishing to transform silver clay into whatever your imagination (and skills) will allow.
We’ll give you a whopping 10g of silver clay to work with, where you’ll have the opportunity to play with texture, shape, and 3D creations. Should you get carried away there will be the opportunity to buy more clay on the day. Well, why wouldn’t you?
Silver clay was developed by Mitsubishi Materials. Using fine silver dust and an organic binder alongside water, they produced a clay-like material which is very easy to manipulate and is perfect for producing organic textures and form. The water evaporates during drying, the organic binder burns away during firing which, in turn, leaves pure silver (which we personally think is magical).
At the end of the class, return home with all of your fabulous silver clay designs and the confidence to continue experimenting with this fun technique!
Every time you buy a class from Vanilla Ink, the profits are invested back into the 'Making as a Form of Therapy' programme, which allows them to help out vulnerable, disadvantaged and/or deserving people by giving them the opportunity that would otherwise not be available to them. They believe everyone should get the chance to experience jewellery making.
Please note:
- Students must be 16+ years
- There will be a break for lunch during the class
- Good eyesight and hand dexterity are a must
