Description
We are delighted to welcome Charlotte from Felix & Reuben to deliver a fabulous Precious Metal Silver Clay – Charm Taster Workshop, where you will learn the process of making ONE charm with Precious Metal Silver Clay, from start to finish. You’ll learn how to handle, roll, shape and texture the silver clay, before drying and refining. You’ll then be shown how your jewellery is fired in the kiln, and finish the session by polishing your charm. Charm will be ready to take home with you at the end of the workshop! (please note that no torch firing will be done in this session due the length of the workshop)
What is Precious Metal Silver Clay?
Precious Metal Silver Clay is a truly magical material to work with! It is made up of millions of tiny particles of recycled silver, which is mixed with an organic binder and water, to make it into a material which can be easily shaped, moulded and textured, similar to pottery clay. Once fired, the binder burns away, resulting in a solid piece of silver! It is an exciting and addictive process, so be prepared to be hooked!
Who is this workshop suitable for?
This workshop is perfect for total beginners to silver clay, or those want to refresh their basic knowledge.
What’s included in the price of the workshop?
4 grams of silver clay, ONE jump ring, use of tools on day and an organza pouch for your pendant is included in the price. Advice on where to purchase your own silver clay kit and a discount code for 15% off silver clay from one of our suppliers of precious metal silver clay.
What silver clay will I use during the workshop?
You will use Art Clay Fine Silver, which is 99.9% pure silver.
Anything else I need to know?
You may get a little dusty, so we will provide an apron for you to wear on the day. Please don’t wear open toed shoes or sandals, and ensure long hair is tied back.
