Overview

Join tutor Jo Richards to begin your journey into creating your very own jewellery in Silver Clay. This amazing material can be moulded, cut, shaped and textured with ease - a wonderful way to make solid silver jewellery from a squishy lump of clay!

We will work at a relaxed pace with plenty of time to explore the material and ask questions along the way. All equipment will be provided, including a student tool kit and your first 10g pack of clay. Additional clay, materials and jewellery findings can be purchased through the tutor during the course.

Examples of Jo's work can be seen at fayebenjamin.co.uk or at the top of this page (courtesy of fayebenjamin jewellery).
