INTRO TO SILVER CLAY

Introduction to Silver Clay Workshop

This session will introduce you to the magical world of silver clay.

It starts out life as described - a claylike substance, made up of very fine particles of pure silver held together with an organic binder and water.

When you fire the piece, the organic binder is burned away and you are left with a solid silver piece in fine silver.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to produce 1-4 pieces dependent on whether you choose to work big or small. These charms in turn could become a pendant or pair of earrings for example.

You will learn:

- Properties of silver clay and how to care for it during the making process.

- how to roll and texture the clay, refine and sand your pieces and drill holes.

- torch fire and polish adding a patina if time allows and if you wish.

At the end of the session you will take your finished pieces home with you.
