With all use of equipment and materials (including the silver!) included in the price!
In just 1/2 a day expect to make a pendant – which will be ready to wear by the end of the class.
We’ll cover all the key techniques of planning, rolling, shaping, design and decoration as well as polishing and making up your finished pieces. We’ll also look at how easy it is to fire the clay at home – you don’t need a kiln. I will talk you through every stage, step by step with lots of demos and tips for silver success!
