Class Description
This beginners metal clay class gives you a chance to work with a fantastic material that produces great results. Each week we will be working towards making a new piece of beautiful silver jewellery that you can take home with you.
Week 1 - Introduction to metal clay and earring making. An experienced tutor will guide you through the basics of metal clay, what it is, different types and the pros and cons of each. You with then experiment with the clay and make a professional quality pair of silver earrings, or a pendent if you perfer. The aim of this week is to introduce students to the material and make a piece from start to finish. Torch firing will also be covered so that you can make pieces from home after the class.
Week 2 - Pendent making and stone setting. Learn the basics of set stones in metal clay and make a double layered stone set pendant.
Week 3 - Basic ring making. Make a simple wrap over ring, one of the most popular beginners projects. You will be learning sizing for ring making, texturing and how to fire rings.
Week 4 - Bead making. Learn to make a filigree bead using metal clay syringe. You will work with a material called cork clay to make a hollow form.
Week 5 - Combine your skills to make a lovely final project. This week you will be encouraged to put all of your new skills together and make a final project with the tutors support.
By the end of the course you will leave with a collection of beautiful silver jewellery pieces, as well as your new found skills in making silver jewellery which can be used as a hobby, for making presents for friends or perhaps even for a business idea. The course is aimed at complete beginners and the tutor will give you plenty of support and advice about carrying on working with metal clay after the class from home.
All materials are provided for you to make your pieces and we have a lovely studio fully equipped for working in metal clay.
This class is suitable for absolute beginners and everyone is welcome.
