Unlock Your Creative Spark with Silver Clay!

Ever dreamed of creating your own jewellery but felt daunted by the process? Imagine turning a raw clay-like material into stunning silver charms with just a few simple tools—no prior experience necessary! Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking to try something new, this class is your perfect introduction to the exciting world of silver clay.

Here’s what you’ll get:

Hands-On Experience: You’ll learn the basics of working with silver clay, a magical material that’s as easy to mould as regular clay but turns into pure, shiny silver once fired. It’s a fun, no-pressure way to create real, high-quality jewellery.

Create Your Own Charms: In just a few hours, you’ll be able to make 3 to 5 personalised pieces. Whether you’re into simple shapes, textured designs, or something totally unique, you’ll get to explore your creativity and see it transform into solid silver!

Torch-Firing Fun: Get the thrill of torch-firing your creations yourself (under expert guidance, of course!) or leave them with me to be kiln-fired and mailed back to you—either way, you’ll walk away with pieces you’ll be proud of.

Top-Quality Materials: A 7g pack of silver clay (worth £18) is included, giving you more than enough to craft multiple charms. All the tools are provided—just bring your creativity!

No Experience Needed: You don’t need to be a master artist to make beautiful silver jewellery. With expert guidance and easy-to-follow techniques, you’ll be amazed at what you can create in a short time. Plus, I’ll provide everything you need, from the clay to the tools, so you can focus on having fun and learning something new!

Great for Gifting or Personal Use: Whether you’re creating a meaningful gift or adding a personal touch to your own jewellery collection, the possibilities are endless. You’ll have the option to purchase earring hooks and chains to turn your charms into necklaces or earrings, making your creations ready to wear.

Join us for a morning or afternoon of creativity, fun, and a little bit of magic. Take your first step into the world of metal clay and leave with beautiful, handcrafted silver charms that are uniquely yours. All you need is curiosity, and I’ll take care of the rest!

Space is limited, so sign up today!

Please note! Due to using a very hot torch, it is not a child friendly class. No under 16’s will be allowed to attend unless a parent is booked onto the same class as them and is happy to take responsibility for the child when using a torch.
