Silver Clay Workshops

1 or 2 day workshop, Milnthorpe UK

Great freedom & organic shapes!

A fantastic freeform medium that you shape like putty. Once your design is finalised, the piece is fired and it emerges from the kiln as fine silver.

Creating free-form jewellery with lots of texture is one of the great benefits of silver clay. It is capable of holding good detail and is excellent for taking moulds of a wide variety of shapes. You can use buttons, leaves, texture plates and more to get the finish you want. It’s a rewarding experience to watch your piece materialise before your eyes, and you then get to wear it home as a finished piece of fine silver jewellery.

What you’ll learn

  • In this workshop I teach the basics of how to get the best from your silver clay and guide you through designing and making your own piece of handmade jewellery.
  • All tools and equipment are provided, just bring your imagination!

Who it’s aimed at:

  • Beginners – no experience needed.
  • Intermediates – who want to explore more.

Silver Clay

Silver Clay is a fabulous medium for making jewellery – from the simplest shapes to the most organic and intricate patterns.

It’s a bit like using Fimo but with a time limit.

Silver Clay is part of the metal clay family, and like the name suggests, it is a soft material that can be shaped just like potter’s clay. Composed of silver particles, organic binders and water, silver clay – when fired – is fine silver and can be hallmarked as fine silver (99.9%).

With Silver Clay you can:

  • roll it
  • knead it
  • beat it
  • stretch it
  • texture it
  • fold it
  • pretty much anything else you can think of
