Join artist Shirley Wu in this playful and beginner-friendly jewellery workshop, where silver meets cake decorating in the most unexpected way!
In this hands-on session, you’ll use silver-clay paste in a syringe and a selection of mini frosting tools (yes, like icing nozzles!) to pipe and sculpt your design — just like decorating a cupcake. Choose to make a ring, a hollow style pendant or a pair of earrings and watch your whimsical design come to life in fine silver.
The workshop includes on-site firing and polishing, so you can see the full transformation process — from soft clay to solid silver magic! Your finished piece will be ready for collection after the session (approx. 1.5 hours).
Workshops are held in two convenient locations—CBD and McLaren Vale. Just pick the one that suits you best.
Private bookings (min 4 people) are always welcome!
