Have you ever wanted to make your own silver jewellery but are not sure where to start? Then this class could be for you. In this introduction to silver jewellery making you will discover the magic of using metal clay to make hallmark worthy jewellery in just a few hours. You will learn how to shape, process, fire and finish your pieces with a few simple tools. Metal clay is a wonderful material and an accessible way to create your own silver jewellery at home and I want to give you the skills to do this after you leave the workshop. You will leave with a necklace and earrings to wear at the end of the workshop (or another item if you do not wear earrings!).
All materials for jewellery making are supplied in the cost.
About your workshop leader:
Naomi Brookes is an artist and jeweller based in Devon. She creates handmade jewellery inspired by nature. Every piece starts life as a real leaf, flower, fossil, or shell before she captures it in silver, making every piece as unique as you.
Naomi feels most at home in wild places. The open moor, the dell of a woodland with the sunlight filtering down catching the wings of a butterfly, the scrubby sea cliffs of Devon where she lives, the playful burbling of a stream meandering through a meadow. She makes jewellery to take nature with me, to remind her of its abandon, exuberance and beauty.
