Silver Clay Jewellery Workshop - Monday 17th February 2025

10am - 4pm, February 17, 2025

Lechlade Craft Barn, Orchard House South, Downington, Lechlade GL7 3DL

Spend the day immersing yourself in learning a new skill with guest tutor Jo Richards of Faye Benjamin Jewellery.

With a few simple techniques, in just one day, you can turn Silver Clay from a squishy little lump into solid silver jewellery and have something beautiful to take home. It really is amazing!

This workshop is suitable for beginners and will give you an introduction to Silver Clay and also for those wishing to develop their skills further.

You will have plenty of time to explore the material, get tips and advice, and create your own pieces of jewellery. You will have the option to add a touch of sparkle and set a cubic zirconia in one of your pieces.

Silver Clay can be cut, shaped and textured with ease – a wonderful way to create your own unique pendant, charm or drop earrings – depending on the size of your pieces there is usually enough for more than one go! Make a pendant or two, or a pendant and a pair of drop earrings, some people will make bracelet charms – the choice is yours!

The skills you learn in this workshop will enable you to continue creating after you leave – the tutor will have starter kits available to purchase if you wish to make more at home.

Customer cancellation deadline: 31st January

Cost: £75 to include tuition, use of equipment, tea & coffee. There will be an additional cost of £25 for materials on the day payable to the tutor.
