This is a half day course using silver clay to create a lovely shiny matching earring and pendant set, created using moulds made from your choice of foliage. Choose anything from your garden, foliage foraged from your favourite park, or maybe from a regular walk to create a lasting keepsake. Maybe combine the protective characteristics of silver with a plant that’s properties mean something to you, to create a meaningful charm to be worn daily.
Maybe choose shells from your favourite beach as a reminder of a special holiday.
Or simply choose from my extensive collection of moulds and texture templates (in excess of 100 at last count!) - the choice is yours.
On the course you will do the following;
• Explore your tool box and learn what each of the tools does
• Spend some time planning your pieces and creating designs
• Make moulds using the flowers and foliage you have brought (these are for you to take home)
• Make prototypes with Fimo (if required)
• Mould the clay
• Dry the clay
• File, sand and tidy the dried piece
• Torch fire the piece
• Complete the final file, sand and tidy of the fried piece
• Add jump rings and chains to complete the pieces
You will take home a matching set of earrings and pendant, or two pendants created in pure silver. In addition you will have a completed work book and written instructions, as well as a basic shopping list for getting your self set up to continue this hobby at home.
