Beginners silver art clay with Hampshire School of Jewellery

X

Description

On the beginners silver clay day you will learn how to shape, texture and mould the clay in the morning. Following a break for lunch, which will allow the clay time to dry, we will file smooth and fire the pieces before polishing. This course is perfect for complete beginners. No previous experience of jewellery making needed as we will break each step down throughout the day. You will learn lots of tips and everything you need to make your own silver clay pieces at home as well as taking at least 2 pieces of finished silver clay jewellery home with you on the day! This class will be at our Basingstoke studio. This course is taught by our owner Laura. She started jewellery making over 20 years ago and went on to complete her degree in the subject. Having worked in the industry for 10 years including teaching at a local college Laura set up the Hampshire School of Jewellery in 2016. Laura has a teaching qualification and is a qualified level 1 art clay instructor. This is a great course to bring a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, hen do or just to get together!
