Hello, my name is Clare and I am pleased to offer workshops and classes in my studio. I offer a range of courses, from short taster sessions, half or full day workshops and 6 week courses. Here at Halton Village Silver Studio we work in silver and copper, using both traditional and modern metalsmith techniques, and enjoy using enamel to add colour. My workshops include a range of Jewellery making but I also enjoy teaching other metal smith sessions including making metal plant labels, spoons and bowls, as well as creating metal flowers. My studio has all the equipment you need to create some lovely pieces to take home, and each session includes all of the materials you will need, as well as a work sheet / book to take home to remind you of what you have learnt.
