Silver Clay Jewellery Workshop Learn at Home in Your Own Time
Description
This fantastic course is the perfect way to experience the joy of learning to make beautiful silver jewellery in the comfort of your own home at completely your own pace. Detailed clear demo videos show you the processes step by step so you can pause, skip or re-watch to your hearts content. The kit provided ensures you not only have everything you need to complete the course but also so that you can carry on creating amazing silver pieces afterwards. Explore different techniques including rolling and cutting the clay, as well as making and using moulds. I can be available via email and WhatsApp to answer questions if needed (by arrangement).
You will learn how to prepare the clay, fire and polish. With a wide range of jewellery options there's something for everyone.
This lovely process allows you to be creative in an accessible way, so anyone can do it! Use treasures from your life as inspiration (or even to make your moulds) or just allow the process to guide you.
This series of exercises is the equivalent of a full day course including making time and will enable you to feel confident enough in the process to keep making silver clay afterwards. You will make 4-6 pieces of silver clay in a variety of techniques.
Please provide the address you would like your kit sent to. Please allow 7 - 10 days for delivery of your kit.

Reviews
An incredible experience! Rachel was not only the perfect host, putting us at ease but also the best teacher you could ask for.
Step by step, she implicitly demonstrated and explained, inspired and patiently re-explained…
Thank you so very much Rachel, I’m bowled over by what I created! I’ll love wearing my necklace and earrings (with pride). X
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
Thank you so much Sal. It was an absolute pleasure. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review and such lovely comments too, so kind! Well done again. Beautiful. XxxxWhat a fantastic day.
I learnt lots of techniques in a wonderful environment and had all the help and support I could ask for from a wonderful lady.
I would not hesitate to recommend this course.
I knew nothing and came away feeling I had achieved a great deal, with two pairs of earrings that I made, and the skill and enthusiasm to want to make more.
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
Thank you for taking the time and your lovely comments. Such a pleasure. Take care. Rach xThe venue is a lovely small campsite not far from Shrewsbury and was easy to find following the directions that were provided. Upon arrival there was a personalised welcome board signposting us where to park and to the studio. Rachel was very welcoming and patient with us throughout the session. We were able to use our own creativity and Rachel assisted us to make our ideas a reality. All the materials and advice we could need were provided (as well as tea coffee and biscuits) and we were both really surprised at the quality of the pieces we were able to produce. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Rachel :-)

Thank you so much Laura. You are so kind to take the time to do a review and such kind comments too. It was an absolute pleasure. :-)Amazing
After a scenic drive into Shropshire we were welcomed at Gifted Crafts. There was a blackboard welcoming us and informing us where to park; a lovely touch. Following a nice cup of coffee, we discussed our designs with Rachel and she showed us the techniques. We had our own work stations and equipment and felt Covid secure.
Rachel was an excellent instructor sharing her expertise and knowledge to help us create our designs. She was patient, enthusiastic and supportive and we felt very proud of what we were able to produce in the workshop.
It exceeded our expectations and we hope to return in the near future. Thank you Rachel.
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
You are so kind. Thank you Peter. And I was so impressed with your ideas. Look forward to seeing you again. All the very best. RachWow, what an evening! I cannot believe how much we managed to learn and practice in a 3 hour workshop! Rachel was such a great teacher, the pieces of silver jewellery we created are just wonderful and are going to make great gifts.
I am so tempted now to set up a home workshop to get more practice at this new learnt skill!
I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:

Thanks so much Jim. And thank you for a great morning yesterday. All the best to you and your Mum. Rach 😃What can I say except...what a fantastic experience my friend and I had while doing the silver jewellery workshop, the setting was magical and Rach was so patient with us as we decided to go totally off piste and design our own pieces. Can’t wait to do the next work shop and will be recommending it to all my friends and family.
Many thanks Rach, see you soon.
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
Thank you so much Sharon. You are such a star. I loved working with you on your creative ideas. Such a pleasure. You both made such beautiful and unique pieces. Look forward to seeing you again. All the very best. RachI spent a wonderful morning on the Beginner Silver Clay Jewellery course with Rachel.
I loved everything about it, from the setting and the sign at the entrance welcoming me, to the lovely conversations, Rachel's knowledge and passion for what she does, and her encouragement, help and support whilst creating lovely treasures and jewellery.
I will definitely be back to learn more about the art of silver clay, I'm hooked!
Thank you so much for such a lovely experience xx
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
Thank you Jessica. You are so kind. You really did impress me with the beautiful pieces you produced. Look forward to seeing you again! xI had an amazing morning with Rach. Snow on the hills but enough tea and coffee to keep my fingers warm while I watched magic being created. The course was well explained, all the equipment was ready to go when I got there. I came away with beautiful jewellery and treasured memories. Thank you.
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
Thank you Suzie. You are so lovely. And you did brilliantly!This course was absolutely fantastic - I'm so amazed with the beautiful items I came home with. Who knew clay would turn into silver?! Even now, I still can't believe I made them! They get so many comments! Nothing was too much trouble for Rachel in terms of extra supplies or guidance on what to do/how. We tried so many different techniques over the course of the day and I'm so glad I decided to stay over at the campsite in one of the bell tents. I will DEFINITELY be booking on her other courses as soon as I can.
Response from Gifted Crafts Company:
