Description

Learn how to make fine silver jewellery The easier and more accessible way to create hallmarkable silver jewellery. I offer day courses in silver Clay. Silver clay is made from silver particles suspended in a binder which once sculpted and fired burns away to leave pure/fine silver (99%). You can create beautiful silver jewellery easily in one session. As the clay is so versatile you will very quickly be creating your own designs. Covered in the lesson are: Types of clay Planning your design Making prototypes Getting the best from your silver clay Finishing 3 different ways to fire Final polishing The Silver clay can be fired in a number of ways (depending on the size of the project) and I will cover these in the course. You can even make rings with it, again let me know if you are interested in this as the cost varies depending on supplies needed, Please note these prices include at least £30 worth of resources (10g of metal clay and paste). COST My home workshop only fits up to 3 people, which means any course booked will not be cancelled due to low numbers. Class runs from 10 – 3pm. Classes take place in Colchester, Essex.
