Silver jewellery course for beginners in Exeter

Description

Hello to all visitors to this site - I would like to inform you that I will be leaving Exeter/Devon soon and the last course here will be on May 18th. If anyone would like to meet me on a course here, you are welcome. Learn to use silver clay to make unique jewellery on this half day introductory silver metal clay workshop in Exeter. Metals clay is fine metal powder mixed with a binder to create malleable clay that can be moulded, textured, rolled and cut out. The clay is then dried before being fired with a torch (which can be done using an inexpensive torch at home) or with a kiln to produce a solid piece of metal. We will be demonstrating firing with a torch so you know what you can achieve in a home environment. NOTE: 3 people can participate in the course, so please take into account that the course booked by you may include people who, like you, booked the same date. If you want to take the course alone or with friends, please contact me in advance. You will learn how to roll and cut precious silver clay, add textures, layering, dry and fire with a torch, finish pre- and post-firing, including polishing, patinating silver surfaces (if you wish) , drilling. Fired silver clay yields 99.9% fine pieces of silver. During this meeting you have 10g of silver clay to use. If you want to complete a larger project, you can purchase an additional package of silver clay (5g, 7g or 10g) during the lesson. In this course you can make simple but attractive pendants or earrings. If you are interested in making more complex jewellery, check out my other courses and if you have additional questions, please contact me. With this course, you can create your own project within 4 hours. You can make 2-3 pieces of jewellery - earrings, pendant, charms. Please contact me for more information.
