Join local artist Shirley Wu for this beginner-friendly class and be introduced to the magic of transforming silver clay paper into a stunning pendant or pair of earrings.
You'll learn how to handle and creatively shape your silver clay paper using traditional origami techniques combined with other fun innovative methods. By the end of the session, you'll walk away with a unique, personal pendant or pair of earrings that is ready to wear or gift to someone special.
This workshop now includes firing and polishing-- you can witness how the clay turns into silver, magic! After the 2.5-hour class, your jewellery piece will be fired and polished (takes approx. 2 hours), for same day or collect on another day, depending on workshop hours.
A quick heads-up: To keep the workshop running smoothly, we need at least four participants. If we don’t hit that number, the session might need to be rescheduled. If you’ve got a smaller group, no worries—we're happy to run a more intimate session for a slightly higher fee, please message us.
Note: This is NOT an origami lesson – prior knowledge of simple origami folds is helpful but not required.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
