Silver jewellery course for beginners in Exeter

Description

Learn to use silver clay to make unique jewellery on this half day introductory silver metal clay workshop in Exeter.

Metals clay is fine metal powder mixed with a binder to create malleable clay that can be moulded, textured, rolled and cut out. The clay is then dried before being fired with a torch (which can be done using an inexpensive torch at home) or with a kiln to produce a solid piece of metal. We will be demonstrating firing with a torch so you know what you can achieve in a home environment.

You will learn how to roll & cut precious silver clay, add textures, layering, drying and torch-firing, finishing pre and post firing including burnishing, polishing and adding a patina to the surface of the silver.
Fired silver clay results in 99.9% fine silver pieces, which you can send for hall-marking at a UK assay office if you wanted to as it is fine enough silver to do so.

On this course, during 4 hours you can create your own project. You can make 2 - 3 pieces of jewellery.
