Join Vivienne Kanharn (Silver with Frills) for a fun workshop creating jewellery with silver clay!

You will be given a demonstration and then you will have the chance to create your very own silver clay jewellery from start to finish!
Each person will be provided with 7g of silver clay which you will roll out before using some shape cutters and textile sheets to make a pendant for a necklace and 2 smaller pieces for earrings. Once the pieces are cut out they will need to dry.
This will be a good time for a break where you will be able to stretch your legs and enjoy some snacks/cake and refreshments. If you have any allergies, please let us know.
Once the clay is dry, you will refine your pieces with various files and sanding pads to make sure the sides and backs are smooth before firing with a handheld torch! This may take some time as you will be given a quick demonstration and then Vivienne will assist each person in firing.
Pieces will then be hand polished and you can choose to patina with liver of sulphur if desired before finally use a burnisher to bring out highlights.
Everyone will be given a sterling silver chain for the pendant, along with some sterling silver ear wires which will be attached to your pieces to finish.
Some parts of this workshop can get messy/dusty so you might like to wear clothes you don't mind getting a little mucky!
