Description
Use Silver Clay to create 2 stunning solid silver rings, ready to wear home. One will have a patterned ring band, the other will incorporate a stone setting of your choice.
Silver Art Clay (Precious Metal Clay) is an amazing material…It can be sculpted by hand, then heat-fired to form solid hallmark quality silver. This is a rewarding way to fashion beautiful jewellery without the need for traditional silversmithing tools.
You will learn how to size, design, make and fire your own silver rings. This workshop is perfect for beginners or those with experience. Various processes will be covered during the day:
- Roll out clay & add texture/pattern
- Cut out your ring bands to size
- Incorporate a stone
- Sand & prepare your pieces for firing
- Fire, polish & add patinas
“An excellent day…I loved every minute!”
“There really is something so special about taking raw material and turning it into something uniquely yours”
